DescriptionSurveyor 1 SP-168 p58a.jpg |
English: One of Surveyor l's most interesting telephoto views was of a mountain range about 16 miles northeast of the spacecraft. E. C. MORRIS, of the U.S. Geological Survey, described it as follows:
"The landing site was within a large, ancient crater, more than 60 miles in diameter, buried by mare material. "The mountain range shown here is part of the rim of this nearly buried crater. The highest peak rises more than 1300 feet above the lunar surface, but only the upper 600 feet project above the near horizon, which is little more than a mile away. The observable crest of the range extends approximately 3 miles along the horizon." This crater is now designated Flamsteed P, and may be referred to as the "Flamsteed ring." |
