This paper discusses the design, navigation and the Monte Carlo error analyses that were critical to the design of this landing scenario. Also described is the reconstruction of the landing trajectory using radio metric, optical landmark and laser ranging tracking data, which determined the characteristics of the landing to be well within the error analyses.
