Lunar Receiving Laboratory (1969-1972)
Tom R. Chambers worked as a research analyst in the Biological Sciences section of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory during Project Apollo (1969-1972). He subjected various animal species to the Lunar Fines (soil) to look for pathogens that might be a threat to the biosphere.
Lunar Receiving Laboratory Project History
Chambers had the opportunity to return to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory (Building 37) and visit the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility (Building 31) in 2016. A Facebook photo album follows:
He was invited to give a public presentation, "Fifty Years Ago at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory" as part of the "Apollopalooza" event (Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Celebration [1969-2019]), Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Denver, Colorado (July 16, 2019 [2:15-3:15pm, Lowry Room]). He also gave the same presentation and a "NASA/School" presentation to teachers, and he conducted an Apollo Space Summer Camp for students (8-12 years old) (July 17, 2019 [8:30am-3:00pm, Education Department]). The photos below show his activities at the museum as well as a portrait with Gene Kranz, former NASA Chief Flight Director for the Gemini/Apollo missions.
