| Detail from Jack
Schmitt's Station 3 pan, centered on Ballet
Crater.� A lobe of the Lincoln-Lee Scarp is in the
middle distance.� In the distance, Hanover Crater
is just east of the scarp trace on the lower slopes of
the North Massif.� Assembly by Eric Jones.

| Figure 7a from the USGS
Apollo 17 Professional Paper showing the appoximate
locations of Stations 3 and 4 and of three explosive
charges (LRV-3, 5, and 6)� deployed during the
traverse.� The plotted ___location of Station 3 is north
and slightly east of a 25-m crater (labeled 'a') at a
distance of about one-third the distance of the 25-m
crater from a similar-sized crater (labeled 'b') at the
center of Lara. |
| Station 3 map from the
Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report. Ballet Crater is
at the upper left.� The pattern of� smaller,
nearby craters mapped on the basis of Hasselblad
images taken by the crew help make an identification in
LROC images. |
| Tentative indentification
of Ballet Crater in LROC image M104311715L, which
has a pixel size of about 1.4 m.� The distance of
this crater from crater 'a' is about forty percent of the
a-b separation, rather than one-third; but the pattern of
small craters is similar to the planimetric map |
| Detail from
M137346262R.� Resolution of the raw image is 0.48m
(horizontal) and 0.55m (vertical).� The version
presented here has been rescaled vertically to 0.48m.
This image shows two small (1-2m) craters just inside
the west rim of Ballet Crater.� Both are visible in
AS17-138-21155 and 21156. |
