Abstract
This work represents an Apollo 12 landing site photogrammetric study based on the lunar surface imagery. A set of 303 photographs taken by the crew was used to build up a 3D scene of the landing site. The mapped area includes the Lunar Module (LM) vicinity, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) deployment site, Surveyor 3 landing site, and Surveyor Crater. The camera station map was composed, locations of artifacts on the lunar surface were accurately determined. Orientations of the LM and Surveyor 3 were found to an accuracy of about 0.5–1°. The depth of Surveyor Crater was determined to an accuracy better than 1 m. The map and coordinates are in a good agreement with image data and Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
