FRA MAURO
The southern edge of Mare Insularum extends to between the craters Lansberg and Fra Mauro. The lower half of the map is occupied by Mare Cognitum. Although this area is seemingly uninteresting, it contains a number of geologically important locations and therefore was one of the most visited regions of the Moon. This is the area where the probe Ranger 7 crash-landed and where two Apollo expeditions landed: Apollo 12 close to Surveyor 3, and Apollo 14 in the hills outside the rim of the crater Fra Mauro. |
