Scaled Photogrammetric Research.

Abstract

Recently a number of reference points for selenodetic control were adopted internationally (Moutsoulas, 1974) with the recommendation that they should be included in future photogrammetric studies of the lunar surface. Details of the first 66 points of the system - i.e., points consisting of craters having a diameter larger than 8 km, and therefore detectable on most plates used so far in lunar photogrammetric studies - are given. The Blagg-Muller catalogue number is included in brackets after the crater name. Also presented is the distribution of the adopted 211 points on the Blagg-Muller maps, with the corresponding catalogue number.
