Developments in the Particles and Fields Lunar Subsatellite Program are reported. The basic purpose of the program is to provide three subsatellites with one for launch with Apollo 15, and one for launch with Apollo 16. At this time all three subsatellites have been completed except for a few minor changes, and the Flight 1 subsatellite has been successfully placed in orbit for the Apollo 15 CSM with all systems performing satisfactorily. The Flight 2 subsatellite is scheduled for launch on March 17, 1972. The Qualification Unit subsatellite has successfully completed its qualification testing.
