Dr. Carleton Moore, in a ca. 1960 ASU Libraries photo, was appointed to serve as the first director of ASU’s Center for Meteorite Studies, which exists to this day. Dr. Moore acquired thirty-five research grants in materials science and geology from NASA, NSF and USGS from 1963-1987. Moore’s research on moon dust and moon rocks acquired from NASA’s Apollo missions in the 1970’s were particularly well-publicized. This work resulted in a large number of public speaking opportunities in Arizona, and set the stage for significant work in planetary geology and astrophysics by subsequent ASU faculty.
