English: This photo is used in Figure 4-46 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption: The Apollo 16 landing site and surrounding terrain is illuminated by a moderately high Sun in this mapping-camera frame exposed on CSM revolution 47. North is at the top of the frame, which is alined within 5° of the selenographic grid. Sun elevation ranges through 6° across the 180- by 180-km surface area, from 49° along the east side to 43° along the west. The Apollo 16 landing site is within the rectangular outline, which indicates the area of figure 4-47. The mass spectrometer boom, mounted behind the mapping camera in the SIM bay, extends into the field of view from the east side of the frame. Selected craters are identified by the letters n to z. The 11-km-diameter Crater Alfraganus C (r) near the northeast corner is one of several sharp craters with minor accumulations of floor materials. Others include Taylor D (o), Zollner E (v), Dollond (z), Dollond E (y), and Dollond M (x). Other craters have smooth to slightly degraded walls and abundant filling that forms floors ranging from textured to smooth. Examples are Alfraganus (s), Zollner D (u), Taylor E (q), and Kant B (w). The three named craters larger than 30 km in diameter, Taylor (p), Zollner (t), and Dollond B (n), are highly degraded. Dollond B (n) has a flat, filled floor; the other two have sparse floor deposits. The north rim of Descartes Crater is approximately 20 km south of Dollond E (y), just outside the south boundary of the photographed area. (The version in the report is labeled.) Photographic data: |
