Abstract

From Apollo 8 data, positions were obtained for three lunar far-side features. The positions may be used to improve the accuracy of lunar far-side maps. Based on these positions, the best lunar far-side maps are estimated to be accurate to within 60 km (1σ) in latitude and longitude. The position of an earth-side feature was determined and used to evaluate the accuracy of the Apollo navigation system.
