This study discusses two blocks of Ilford G5 emulsions, plus metallic components, that were recovered from the polar orbiting satellites, Discoverer XVII and XVIII. This discussion covers the Class 3+ flare of 12 Nov 1960 in relation to the Discoverer XVII exposure; photographic processing of satellite-exposed emulsions; preliminary cosmic-ray observations on orbited emulsions; and radiochemical analyses of the Discoverer capsules.

Several new vacuum ultraviolet-emission continua recently observed in the spectra of the rare gases helium, argon, and xenon are discussed. These spectra were produced with a windowless light source operated as a repetitive condensed discharge and equipped with a differential pumping system to separate the high pressure (up to 800 mm Hg of helium) light source from the 2-m vacuum spectrograph (pressure 1/1000 mm Hg). In helium two continua were observed at pressures above 150 mm in addition to the weaker 600 to 950 angstroms continuum. The brightest extends from about 1050 to above 4000 angstroms and seems connected with greatly enhanced lines of He(II). The other continuum is the completely broadened principal series extending from 584 to about 510 angstroms and containing broadened principal series absorption lines. With argon in a flow system or xenon isolated with a LiF window, previously observed continua were extended from their resonance lines to beyond 3000 angstroms. Details of the experimental observations and possible explanations of these continua are presented. (Author).
A checklist of lunar and planetary research articles published in 1960 is provided plus a convenient starting place for a literature search on Astrobiology, Meteors and Meteorites, Moon, Origin of the Solar System, Planets, and Tektites. In some cases articles published in 1959 have been included to present a more well-rounded reference list.
