This sub-solar longitude mosaic is composed of images with consistent lighting geometries (sub-solar longitudes from 205 to 235) selected to optimize illuminated terrain coverage over an Artemis III candidate landing site. For a first pass at offset correction, we used the results of aligning most of the LROC NAC images poleward of 84°S as described in Wagner et al. 2022 (LPSC LIII, Abstract no. 2573). For our second pass at offset correction, we compared the mosaic to the LOLA shaded relief product (5 m pixel scale). We estimate the absolute positional accuracy to be 5 to 20 m.

PDS PRODUCT NAMING CONVENTION
The PRODUCT_ID naming convention for LROC NAC ROIs is:
NAC_ROI_xxxxxxxxSSv_AyyyBzzzz[_##M].IMG where
- NAC_ROI = indicating it's a NAC ROI product
- xxxxxxx = words specifying the sitename (8 characters)
- SS = LO for low Sun angle or HI for high Sun angle
- v = incremental character for distinguishing multiple mosaics with similar lighting of the same region. Letters are used for individual mosaics and numbers are used for composite mosaics composed of mulitiple controlled mosaics.
- A = projection type (E for equirectangular, P for polar stereographic)
- yyy = center latitude to the nearest 10th of a degree
- B = N for northern hemisphere, S for southern hemisphere
- zzzz = center longitude to the nearest tenth of a degree. The longitude domain for all NAC DTMs is 360 positive east.
- [_##M] = indicates the pixel scale in meters; used only for supplementary lower resolution products.
Example: NAC_ROI_APOLLO15LOC_E252N0018.IMG is a NAC ROI of the Apollo 15 landing site with low-Sun. C indicates it's the third low-Sun mosaic of the Apollo 15 landing site produced. This mosaic is centered at latitude=25.2N, longitude=1.8E and is in equirectangular projection.
