New LRO images of the landing sites (altitude 15 miles/24 km)

(1/3) > >>

Daggerstab:
A new image release from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, from a very low height, with nice accompanying articles:

* Apollo 11
* Apollo 12
* Apollo 15The resolution is given as 0.25 m/pixel. They seem to be releasing one per day, so there may be more.

Wow. NASA's teams of Photoshop artists sure have been busy!

gtvc:
Cool pictures whats the difference with the first ones? :P

Czero 101:
Less detail.

LRO was orbiting at about 50km when the landing sites were previously imaged. Those images had a resolution of between 0.5 and 1.5 meter, depending upon LRO's actual altitude and angle to the site being imaged, as well as the sun angle, if memory serves.
