On January 20-21, 1964, the Institute for Space Studies of the
Goddard Space Flight Center, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, was host to an international group of astronomers,
physicists, and Earth scientists, gathered to discuss the
Earth-Moon system. This was the sixth in a continuing series of
interdisciplinary meetings on topics in space physics held at the
Institute. The conference was organ ized by G.J.F. MacDonald, of
the University of California at Los Angeles, and by R.H. Dicke, of
Princeton University. The working title of the conference was "The
Dynamics of the Earth-Moon System," and indeed much of the contents
of this proceedings volume is concerned with dynamical problems,
but the conference dealt with many other topics concerning the
Earth-Moon system, and hence we have adopted the shorter title for
this volume. The conference proceedings have been somewhat rear..
ranged from the order in which the papers were actually presented.
In doing this the editors are exercising hindsight to bring
together closely related discussions. The first paper, by D.
Brouwer, discusses the motions and moments of inertia of the Moon
and their relation to the lunar figure and composition. From this
discussion it emerges there remain many uncertainties in the motion
of the Moon associated with the lunar composition and the
distribution of its mass."
