Apollo 12 Aims for Precise Moon Landing In Rugged Terrain
Apollo 12 aims to land with pinpoint precision in the Ocean of Storms near Surveyor 3, with Charles Conrad Jr and Alan Bean targeting a crater edge and planning to retrieve samples. The mission refines procedures after Apollo 11’s four mile miss, including in situ computer updates and slower undocking to reduce landing error.
