You can make out the rover tracks around the lander. LROC NAC image M175502049RE [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 24 Sep 2013 1000 Day Anniversary of LROC Imaging Rim of Shackleton crater near the lunar South Pole as seen in the first LROC NAC image of the Moon, acquired on 30 June 2009. Image is 850 m across, NAC M101013931 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 26 Mar 2012 Pinpoint Landing on the Ocean of Storms The Apollo 12 landing site in Oceanus Procellarum imaged during the second LRO low-altitude campaign. Image width is 225 m, NAC Image M175428601R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 06 Mar 2012 Hadley Rille and the Mountains of the Moon The NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter rolled to capture this dramatic oblique view of the Apollo 15 landing site. Hadley rille, a great chasm in the lunar surface, carves its way through the center of this scene [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 Nov 2011 A path not taken Mare surface in Sinus Aestuum near a lunar exploration site proposed in the late 1950s. Image width is 460 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 05 Aug 2010 Window to the Farside Mantle Ejecta from small craters reveal ancient buried mare to the northeast of Dewar crater, near the center of a Constellation region of interest. Image width is 570 meters [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Jun 2010 Marius Hills Constellation region of interest Rim of a large sinuous rille on the western edge of the Marius Hills Constellation region of interest, showing materials that have slumped into the bottom of the sinuous rille towards the northwest as well as (possibly) outcrop, a prime location for fieldwork and sample collection. One of the several hundred volcanic features located in the Marius region. Exploration of this site will yield important insights into planetary volcanism. Image width is 550 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 01 Jun 2010 Central Peak of Bullialdus Crater Summit of the central peak of Bullialdus crater, a Constellation region of interest. LROC Narrow Angle Camera image M114098458LE, image is 500 m wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 11 May 2010 Mare Moscoviense Constellation Site A very subtle mare-highlands boundary in Mare Moscoviense on the lunar farside, near the center of the Constellation Program region of interest. The generalized geologic contact between the mare and the highlands has been highlighted (mare to the left, highlands to the right). Astronauts exploring this region could collect key samples from the farside basalts of Mare Moscoviense as well as materials from the surrounding basin massifs. Image width is 1.8 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 Jan 2010 Wrinkle Ridge Near Montes Teneriffe Boulders perched atop a wrinkle ridge in Mare Imbrium west of the Montes Teneriffe. Image width is 2 km, NAC frame M102264014RE [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Dec 2009 Prev 1 2 3 Next ← Previous Next → Displaying Post 1 - 10 of 30 in total
