Co-ordinations-and-maps support is an important component of
planning travels to celestial bodies of the Solar System. It is provided by
both interpreting remote sensing data and morthometric analysis of the surface,
followed by creating derivative maps of slopes, roughness, crater density. The
support makes it possible to get versatile characteristics of the surface of
landing site candidates of the planned Russian exploratory lunar missions
"Luna-Globe" (the northern polar area) and "Lunar-Resource"
(the southern polar area).
