Preliminary description of double drive tube 68002/68001Apollo 16 double drive tube 68002/68001 has been opened, and information on its contents and structure is now available. The sample was taken in Apr. 1972 at Station 8, a gently undulating surface of South Ray Crater ejecta material. The tube was driven into the surface about 2 m from the edge of a 10-15 m diameter crater in an area where small (less than 0.5 m diameter) craters are common. Fragments of the less than 1 cm diameter size are most abundant in this area. The top section, 68002, and the lower section, 68001, have a combined length of about 61 cm.
