- Apollo 10's AS10-35-5202 shows Smithson, Abbot, Bombelli, Ameghino, and Sinus Successus (and also the "Mishqui basin" near Abbot).
- AS10-31-4507 shows the distinct couple Smithson and Taruntius O'.
- Apollo 15's AS15-88-11964 shows craters Taruntius N (Smithson) and Taruntius O near the image's upper left corner, while part of Sinus Successus is behind Apollo 15's CSM Endeavour. Note the exposed SIM-bay in Endeavours Service Module.
- Smithson is also noticeable at the right part of Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic frame AS15-P-10116 (the distinct high-albedo crater), and on Apollo 16's ITEK-frame AS16-P-5219 (also near the right margin, with Taruntius O).
