Paper considers landing sites for Phase 1 (Short-Range) and Phase 2 (Medium-Range) exploration teams and problems inherent in lunar navigation; work required for navigational purposes prior to landings includes cartography and photographic survey; design of special navigational equipment (optical, inertial, radar); and use of navigation/communications satellites; suitable navigation systems for Phase 2 exploration and survey parties; sample expeditions to Tycho (Phase 1) and to Mare Imbrium (Phase 2) are examined.
