Aside from NASA, a number of entities and individuals observed, through various means, the Apollo missions as they took place. On later missions, NASA released information to the public explaining where third party observers could expect to see the various craft at specific times according to scheduled launch times and planned trajectories.

[42] [43] Prior to impact, the probe had been able to take two last photographs: a view of itself against the Moon, and a closer shot of the Moon's surface. [44] The lander's final resting position is 32.5956°N, 19.3496°E, [11] portrayed in the following LROC images: [45] M1236487095L (before impact) [46]
The probe has made a 3-D map of the Moon's surface at 100-meter resolution and 98.2% coverage (excluding polar areas in deep shadow), [14] including 0.5-meter resolution images of Apollo landing sites. [15] [16] The first images from LRO were published on July 2, 2009, showing a region in the lunar highlands south of Mare Nubium (Sea of Clouds ...
Satellite imagery shows NASA’s Artemis rocket on its way towards the moon on Wednesday, November 16.The imagery was released by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, or CIRA ...
This casual footage of an astronaut cruising around the moon's surface during the Apollo 15 voyage is surreal. NASA’s hi-res footage of a ‘moon buggy’ shows space exploration in stunning ...
As of February 20, 2010, three different NASA networks are used - the Deep Space Network (DSN), the Near Earth Network (NEN) and the Space Network/Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). The DSN, as the name implies, tracks probes in deep space (more than 10,000 miles (16,000 km) from Earth), while NEN and TDRSS are used to ...
The Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex (GDSCC), commonly called the Goldstone Observatory, is a satellite ground station located in Fort Irwin [1] in the U.S. state of California. Operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), its main purpose is to track and communicate with interplanetary space missions.
In spite of the fault with the propulsion system, LunaH-Map returned some data, including neutrons detected during its flyby, and high-altitude images of the moon taken with its star tracker. As of November 2022, NASA planned to conduct an auto-navigation experiment and ranging tests with the Deep Space Network. [17]
