COORDINATES OF LUNAR FEATURES, GROUP I AND II SOLUTIONS.

Abstract

A series of one to one million scale charts of the moon and charts of potential landing sites are produced at the scale of one to five hundred thousand. Inadequacies of existing lunar control have necessitated the establishment of a new control program for measuring and reducing positions using earth based telescope photography. It is the purpose of this report to present the measurement and reduction methods employed and the lunar coordinates derived from the first two photo groups of a planned four photo group solution.
