Copernicus is a complex crater on the Moon about 96 km in diameter, located south of the Imbrium basin. It has an almost circular shape, a central peak, a flat floor and well developed wall terraces. Tusberti et al. used a variety of data to identify various units and features, enabling them to generate a geological map, resulting in an output at 1:400.000 scale. Among the units mapped are: 5 main floor units (Hummocky material 1, Hummocky material 2, Smooth material 1, Smooth material 2, Central Peak material) mapped both using morphology and spectral information; 2 main Wall units (Terraces and Gentle Scarps, Steep Scarps) and Linear landforms such as Open fractures or Rim and Wall faults.

This map substitutes for the Nili Fossae study that had been suggested in the initial DoA. We have dropped Nili Fossae because it is no longer a candidate landing site.
