LROC Northern Polar Mosaic (LNPM)
On 18 June 2009, NASA launched the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to map the surface of the Moon and collect measurements of potential future landing sites as well as key science targets. After two and a half years in a near-circular polar orbit, LRO entered an elliptical polar orbit on 11 December 2011 with a periapsis (point where the LRO is closest to the surface) near the south pole, and t

Lunokhod 2 Revisited
Lunokhod 2 rover parked facing southeast with the lid still open. Rover tracks extend north to the final parking place. The inset is a zoomed in view of the rover, the main rover body is labeled B, the open lid is labeled L and the instrument suite on the front of the rover is labeled I. LROC image M175070494 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. The Lunokhod 2 rover is still parked on the floor o
Skimming the Moon
Low periapsis Narrow Angle Camera image of the Apollo 17 Landing Site. Image is 150 meters wide, Sun from the left, north towards top [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Normally the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) orbits the Moon in a 50 km altitude, near-circular, polar orbit. The orbit is “near”-circular, as LRO’s altitude can vary between its lowest altitude (periapsis) of 35 km and its h
