Report 1: A Method of Predicting the Optimum Lunar Landing Area for a Manned SpacecraftFrom a safety aspect, our present knowledge of the moon is inadequate to make a fast decision concerning the best site for landing a manned spacecraft. To date, ten sites have been proposed from which we must select the safest. Additional data from the areas selected are necessary in order to compare the results with data obtained from terrestrial samples of the site where Surveyor has landed. This paper proposes a method of successive transformations of observational data obtained during the Surveyor program from which we can expect t o acquire a considerable amount of information regarding the proposed sites.
