Shoemaker Crater-Going Where We Can "See"The recommended impact site for LCROSS is Shoemaker crater, centered at 88.1 S, 45 E. This 51-km diameter crater is in permanent shadow. However, more than half of its floor has been imaged by Earth-base radar. This degree of target knowledge will strongly constrain impact models and significantly increase the confidence of data interpretation.
