Zusammenfassung:	Control networks of the five large satellites of Uranus have been established photogrammetrically from pictures taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. The control networks cover the illuminated southern hemisphere of each satellite. Coordinates are listed for 103 points on Miranda, 52 points on Ariel, 43 points on Umbriel, 46 points on Titania, and 34 points on Oberon; some points are identified on the U.S. Geological Survey maps of these satellites. Miranda is ellipsoidal in shape with radii of 241, 235 and 232 km. Mean radii are 579 km for Ariel, 586 km for Umbriel, 790 km for Titania, and 762 km for Oberon.
