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.
Despite its historic nature, the primary purpose of Apollo 11 was simple; to perform a manned lunar landing and return [3].All other aspects were considered as bonuses, including the Extravehicular Activity/EVA on the surface (AKA Moonwalk) which was kept to the barest minimum of placing a few experimental devices, grabbing a few rocks, and taking a few photographs.
The Apollo 11 telemetry tapes were different from the telemetry tapes of the other Moon landings because they contained the raw television broadcast. For technical reasons, the Apollo 11 lander carried a slow-scan television (SSTV) camera (see Apollo TV camera). To broadcast the pictures to regular television, a scan conversion had to be done.
(By the way, don't Google "Apollo 11 images" unless you're prepared to sort through pages of fake moon landing conspiracy websites.) The most famous one is this iconic picture of Aldrin below.

The original slow-scan television signal from the Apollo TV camera, photographed at Honeysuckle Creek on July 21, 1969. The Apollo 11 missing tapes were those that were recorded from Apollo 11's slow-scan television (SSTV) telecast in its raw format on telemetry data tape at the time of the first Moon landing in 1969 and subsequently lost.
The Apollo 17 project, which Feist began in 2009 as a part-time hobby and launched six years later [3] was the first real-time site published. It includes raw audio from the onboard voice and air-to-ground communication channels in Mission Control that had been released by NASA, and film that had been collected by archivist Stephen Slater in the UK.
