Summary

DescriptionAp17-S72-37255HR.jpg	English: Pre-flight lab photo of the LACE. The Lunar Atmospheric Composition Experiment was flown on Apollo 17. It was a mass spectrometer that measured the composition of the lunar atmosphere. On earlier missions, only the total abundance of the lunar atmosphere was measured by the Cold Cathode Gauge. The three primary gases in the lunar atmosphere are neon, helium, and hydrogen, in roughly equal amounts. Small amounts of methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and water were also detected.
