Results of study of techniques, system dynamics, and component characteristics required to control landing point of landing vehicle by manual control from earth; controller is presented with TV picture of landing area from which he selects landing point and designates point by transmitting command to landing craft; vehicle-borne guidance system then controls vehicle attitude and thrust magnitude to cause soft landing to occur at desired point; important aspect is consideration of means of compensating for earth-moon transmission delay; factors affecting stability and accuracy of landing site selection system are evaluated.
