The View from an Astronaut's Eyes

Apollo Mission Lunar Panoramas

The following 360° panoramas were created using digitized photographs collected by the astronauts during the Apollo 11 - 17 lunar exploration missions.

Each panorama is presented in several formats:

  • QTVR: This is an interactive, virtual reality format that gives you the sense of being on the moon viewing the scenery. QuickTime VR files require the free Apple QuickTime Player.
  • Small Still: A scaled-down panoramic still image.
  • Large Still: A high resolution still image.

Links will open in a new window with the panorama in the upper part of the window, and a caption in the lower part of the window.

The imagery and maps were prepared as part of a project by a USGS team under funding from the USGS Technology Transfer Program and NASA's Planetary Geology and Geophysics Program. Dr. Christopher D. Condit (U. Massachusetts) and Mr. Richard Kozak provided scientific and technical assistance. Contact Kenneth L Tanaka (ktanaka@usgs.gov), Dennis McMacken (dmcmacke@usgs.gov), or Glenn Bennett (gbennett@usgs.gov), for additional information.
