C.; Park, J. J. NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI) NASA-TN-D-6599; G-1044 , 19720301; Mar 1, 1972 The Apollo 12 astronauts brought the Surveyor III television camera back from the moon in November 1969. Chemical analyses of a portion of television cable revealed changes in the glass fabric sleeve and in the wire insulation as a result of exposure to the lunar environment. Loss of volatile constituents from the glass fabric and a discoloration of the glass occurred. The Teflon layer on the wire showed a slight discoloration and possibly a slight change in its infrared spectrum. Both the polyimide layer and the Teflon layer of the wire insulation showed changes in tensile strength and elongation.

Still, it made for a great episode of FTETTM. Pat |
