The positions from where the Apollo 17 astronauts recorded panoramic image series, e.g. at the so-called "traverse stations", were precisely determined using ortho-images (0.5 m/pxl) as well as Digital Terrain Models (DTM) (1.5 m/pxl and 100 m/pxl) derived from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) data. Features imaged in the Apollo panoramas were identified in LROC ortho-images. Least-squares techniques were applied to angles measured in the panoramas to determine the astronaut's position to within the ortho-image pixel. The result of our investigation of Traverse Station 1 in the north-west of Steno Crater is presented.
