Orion just made its final pass around the moon on its way to Earth, and NASA has released some of the spacecraft's best photos so far. Taken by a high-resolution camera (actually a heavily ...
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a NASA robotic spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon in an eccentric polar mapping orbit. [6] [7] Data collected by LRO have been described as essential for planning NASA's future human and robotic missions to the Moon. [8]
One medium resolution image, most of one high resolution image and parts of three others are missing, apparently due to lapses at the time they were being recorded. [3] The rest of the Lunar Orbiter images have been successfully recovered [2] and have been published in NASA's Planetary Data System. [4]

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 ...
The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M 3) is one of two instruments of NASA that was carried by India's first mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-1, launched October 22, 2008.It is an imaging spectrometer, and the team is led by Principal investigator Carle Pieters of Brown University, and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
NASA released surreal footage from the Apollo Space Program of the 1960s and ’70s. The stunning, high-resolution visuals give a closer look at a Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), nicknamed a “moon ...
A total of 419 high-resolution and 127 medium-resolution frames were acquired, covering 99% of the Moon's near side at resolutions from 58 to 134 metres (190 to 440 ft). [4] Accurate data was acquired from all other experiments throughout the mission. Radiation data showed increased dosages due to solar particle events producing low energy protons.
