Coordinates and Maps of the Apollo 17 Landing Site

Oberst, Jürgen; Haase, Isabel; Wählisch, Marita +2 more

We carried out an extensive cartographic analysis of the Apollo 17 landing site and determined and mapped positions of the astronauts, their equipment, and lunar landmarks with accuracies of better than ±1 m in most cases. To determine coordinates in a lunar body-fixed coordinate frame, we applied least squares (2-D) network adjustments to angular…

A Robust Ground-to-Image Transformation Algorithm and Its Applications in the Geometric Processing of Linear Pushbroom Images

Geng, Xun; Xu, Qing; Lan, Chaozhen +1 more

Linear array cameras are widely used in the fields of aerial and space remote sensing. The ground-to-image transformation plays a significant role in the geometric processing procedures of linear pushbroom images, which is time-consuming due to multiple iterative calculations. Moreover, the detectors of the linear array may exhibit a curved shape …
