The first truly soft landing was made by the US with theSurveyor-1spacecraft, which touched down on the surface of the Moon on June 2nd, 1966. After landing in the Ocean of Storms, the probe transmitted data back to Earth that would also prove useful for the eventual Apollo missions. ...
The new maps are an improvement over the old 1979 Lunar Chart, featuring high-resolution images that cover the entire surface of the moon, USGS officials said. Part of a new moon map from the U.S. Geological Survey, showing Apollo landing sites and locations of other missionsUSGS/NASA/ASU...
Not long after LRO arrived at the moon, LROCcapturedthe landing sites of several Apollo missions. The instrument's camera viewed the remaining lunar modules, astronauts' footprints through the moondust, and even scientific instruments that the astronauts left behind. The Apollo landing sites can furt...
The Lunar Orbiters, tasked with imaging potential landing sites for the Apollo manned missions that were set to follow, made their own history by taking the first photos from lunar orbit. Started with funding from volunteers and initially supported financially by NASA, the LOIRP team of retired ...
“Selecting these regions means we are one giant leap closer to returning humans to the Moon for the first time since Apollo,” said Mark Kirasich, deputy associate administrator for the Artemis Campaign Development Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “When we do, it will be unlike an...
Rock populations can supply fundamental geological information about origin and evolution of a planet. In this paper, we used Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) narrow-angle camera (NAC) images to identify rocks at the lunar landing sites (including Chang'e 3 (CE-3), Apollo and Surveyor series...
Therefore, with such a small alteration to the camera position in Dave's hands (several tens of centimetres), the mountains should not move, they should remain static (zero parallax). In addition, the Apollo 15 stereoscopic photos feature a clear separation line between the ‘mountains’ and ...
