The Lunar Orbiter program was a series of five uncrewed lunar orbiter missions launched by the United States in 1966 and 1967. Intended to help select Apollo landing sites by mapping the Moon's surface, [ 1 ] they provided the first photographs from lunar orbit and photographed both the Moon and Earth.
Pioneer 1, television camera; Pioneer 2, television camera; Lunar Orbiter program, Lunar Orbiter 1–5, 1966–1967; The camera used two lenses to simultaneously expose a wide-angle and a high-resolution image on the same film. The wide-angle, medium resolution mode used an 80 mm F 2.8 Xenotar lens manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach, Germany ...
Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission beginning in July 2009 show the six Apollo Lunar Module descent stages, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) science experiments, astronaut footpaths, and lunar rover tire tracks. These images are the most effective proof to date to rebut the "landing hoax" theories.

Apollo 7 slow-scan TV, transmitted by the RCA command module TV camera. NASA decided on initial specifications for TV on the Apollo command module (CM) in 1962. [2] [ Note 1] Both analog and digital transmission techniques were studied, but the early digital systems still used more bandwidth than an analog approach: 20 MHz for the digital system, compared to 500 kHz for the analog system.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Wide Angle Camera (WAC) The WAC provides visible and UV images at a scale of 100 meters/pixel in seven color bands over a 60 km swath. [ 38 ] Image format is 1024 x 1024 pixels, with a field of view of 92° (monochrome), 61° (visible light), and 59° in the UV.
The camera returned 6315 pictures between April 20 and May 3, 1967, including views of the spacecraft itself, panoramic lunar surveys, views of the mechanical surface digger at work, and of an April 24 eclipse of the Sun by the Earth. [9] The Apollo 12 Lunar Module landed near Surveyor 3 on November 19, 1969.
