Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Christian N. Alf Mentor: Mark S. Robinson School of Earth and Space Exploration Arizona State University

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Mission Overview Launches in late 2008 First mission in NASA’s plan to return to the moon Seven Instruments LROC: Global imaging LOLA: Global topography LEND: Neutron flux (water ice)‏ DLRE: Temp. of lunar surface LAMP: Search for surface ices in polar regions CRaTER: Lunar radiation environment Mini-RF: SAR (image permanently shadowed areas)‏

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Primary Goals Study meter-scale features Landing site selection Image lunar poles Areas of permanent shadow Other Goals Stereo imaging for topography Multispectral imaging for mineralogy and surface composition Assess current impact hazards

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Cameras 2 Narrow Angle Cameras (NAC)‏ 0.5 meter per pixel resolution Stereo Images Look for future landing sites Wide Angle Camera (WAC)‏ 100 meter per pixel resolution Multispectral Images

Apollo Metric Image Scans Images from Apollo 15,16, and 17 Full resolution scans Available to public http://apollo.sese.asu.edu/
