Product Information: This digital elevation model (DEM) is based on data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA; Smith et al., 2010), an instrument on the National Aeronautics and Space Agency…

These maps are a series of geologic maps that cover the entire Moon at a scale of 1:5,000,000 originally created in the 1970's. Because of increasing emphasis on lunar studies from recent orbital…

This project focused on geometric restoration of hyperspectral imagery from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3 or M3) instrument that flew as a guest instrument on the Indian Space Research…

In the early 1970s, specialized cameras onboard the Command Modules of the last three Apollo missions (15, 16, 17) photographed nearly 25% of the Moon in stunning detail. Today, scientists from…

The Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) [7] along with local compute and storage cluster configurations were used to merge the original Kaguya TC tiles. Each mosaic is presented…

Welcome to Map-A-Planet MAP (v2) allows users to select global image mosaics for download, or with an account, one can also request the mosaic be map projected, clipped to extents, run pre-defined…

The Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle was an engineering miracle, but It would have collapsed on Earth under the weight of a suited astronaut. That's because it was designed to operate in lunar gravity,…
