Tour of the Moon | NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
Take a virtual tour of the Moon in high resolution, thanks to data provided by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. As the visualization moves around the near side, far side, north and south poles, we highlight interesting features, sites, and information gathered on the lunar terrain. Since its launch in June 2009, the LRO mission has given scientists the largest volume of data ever collected by a planetary science mission at NASA. LRO has made a 3-D map of the Moon's surface at 100-meter resolution and 98.2% coverage (excluding polar areas in deep shadow), including 0.5-meter resolution images of Apollo landing sites.
