Lunar Grid Reference System (LGRS) Artemis III Candidate Landing Site Navigational Grids in Artemis Condensed Coordinate (ACC) Format Lunar Grid Reference System (LGRS) Artemis III Candidate Landing Site Navigational Grids in Artemis Condensed Coordinate (ACC) Format

USGS is assessing the feasibility of map projections and grid systems for lunar surface operations. We propose developing a new Lunar Transverse Mercator (LTM), the Lunar Polar Stereographic (LPS), and the Lunar Grid Reference Systems (LGRS). We have also designed additional grids designed to NASA requirements for astronaut navigation, referred to as LGRS in Artemis Condensed Coordinates...
