| Description | The accuracy of the crew position obtained by using a line-of-sight device such as a sun compass or the rover television camera and the prominent mountains such as Hadley and Hadley delta was investigated. It was determined that with errors of 1 deg (noise only), the crew position can be obtained to sigma sub phi = 850 feet and sigma sub lambda = 400 feet using Hadley and Hadley delta. The addition of West Mountain reduced the errors to 600 and 400 feet, respectively. |
