From September 1961 through April 1969 the USAF Aeronautical Chart and Information Center (ACIC) maintained a permanent staff of cartographic visual observers, scientific illustrators and photographers at Lowell Observatory to compile detailed lunar charts from visual and photographic telescopic observations. With a manned lunar landing becoming an established and accepted space goal, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the agency responsible for the lunar mission, requested ACIC to continue its cartographic investigation of the moon with an ultimate objective of providing the necessary lunar charts for Project Apollo.(Carder and Scott, 1966)
