Apollo 14 landed in a hilly area just north of the crater [/Fra%20Mauro Fra Mauro].<br /> <br /> <br />

==Additional Information==<br />
* The position of the Apollo 14 landing site given in the title line is from [/ULCN Davies and Colvin, 2000]. It is based on the position of the Apollo 14 lunar surface experiment package (ALSEP) radio transmitter, as later determined by Earth-based radio interferometry, and the assumption that the lander touched down 185 m east and 40 m south of that location. The measured ALSEP location is itself probably uncertain by at least 30 m. The earlier [/DMA DMA]-prepared [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LPST/ap_11_12_14/ Landing site map] gave the approximate landing site position as 3.675S, 17.467W.<br />
* On thursday the 4th of February 2016, LMP [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Mitchell Edgar D. Mitchell] died in Florida, age 85. Mitchell's death marks APOLLO 14 as the first one of the Apollo project's nine moonmissions of which no one of the crew is still alive. CDR Alan Shepard died in 1998, CMP Stuart Roosa died in 1994. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/DannyCaes [[Image:DannyCaes-lg.jpg|16px|DannyCaes]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/DannyCaes DannyCaes] <small>Feb 7, 2016</small></span><br />

==Nomenclature==<br />
The [/IAU%20Nomenclature IAU Nomenclature] includes 6 minor astronaut-named [/landing%20site%20name landing site feature names] associated with Apollo 14 (copied from ''[/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB IAU Transactions XVIB]''):<br /> <br />
<br />
# [/Cone Cone]: A 350 m crater situated on the western edge of one of the high ridges of the [/Fra%20Mauro Fra Mauro] Formation. The physical location and ejecta, of the crater give it a cone-shaped appearance. The south rim of the crater was the farthest stop of the second EVA surface sampling traverse.<br />
# [/Triplet Triplet]: Three craters in a row, "North", "Center", and "South", that served as the first major landmark for landing the craft. The Apollo 14 LM landed west of North Triplet. Samples were also collected from North Triplet.<br />
# [/Doublet Doublet]: Two superposed craters west of the landing point that served as the second major landmark for landing the craft. The Laser Ranging Retro Reflector was deployed on the southeast rim of Doublet crater.<br />
# [/Flank Flank]: A 30 m crater on the southwestern flank of [/Cone Cone] crater.<br />
# [/Old%20Nameless Old Nameless]: Crater with broken rim.<br />
# [/Weird Weird]: A 40 m unusual cluster of probably two or possibly three craters forming a unique or "weird" shape. A large rock sampled east of this crater had already been named Weird rock!<br />
<br /> The landing site itself has no official name. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher [[Image:JimMosher-lg.jpg|16px|JimMosher]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher JimMosher]</span><br /> <br /> The USGS's [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/usgs/I708_1/ Geologic Map of Part of the Fra Mauro Region (I-708 1)] (Apollo 14 Pre Mission Map), shows 5 unofficial names slightly west of '''Cone''' crater. These names are: '''Cloverleaf''', '''Old Deep''', '''Old North''', '''Star''', '''Sunrise'''. And then there's also '''Crossroads''' and '''Neighbor''' (see lower part of ALSJ page [https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a14/a14OldNameless.html Old Nameless]).<br /> <br /> <br />
