Abstract
Two possible applications of the recently developed Technical Operations Isodensitracer to lunar charting are discussed:
-
(i)
The determination of the selenocentric coordinates of photographed lunar features requiring densitometric analysis, with particular reference to relative altitude determinations through the medium of the shadow-projection method;
-
(ii)
The charting, by photometric methods, of lunar regions registered on photometrically controlled photographic images obtained from spacecraft based camera systems, with particular reference to the Orbiter series of space stations.
