    Description: Review of the first results obtained from the development and use of a new type of differential receiver designed to determine the relative locations on the lunar surface of two Apollo-deposited transmitters. This receiver has made it possible to reduce random and systematic instrumental errors to nearly negligible levels (displacement uncertainties equivalent to a few centimeters).

    Description: Differential very-long-baseline interferometric observations of signals from Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package telemetry transmitters will yield the relative projected positions of the transmitters with uncertainty of only 1-3 m, set mainly by uncertainty of the lunar ephemeris. Noise and systematic instrumental errors which in the past affected similar observations have been reduced to the equivalent of a few centimeters on the lunar surface by the development of a new type of differential receiver. Continued observations should yield a determination of the motion of the moon about its center of mass with uncertainty less than 1 sec of selenocentric arc. Improvements (by other means) in our knowledge of the moon's orbital motion would allow a further order-of-magnitude refinement in the libration and relative position results obtainable by differential VLBI.
