LRO Camera

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Camera is a high-resolution imaging system aboard the LRO spacecraft that circles the Moon. It captures detailed photographs of the lunar surface, helping scientists study the terrain, identify landing sites, and analyze mineral compositions. By providing clear images from orbit, the camera supports scientific research and future lunar exploration missions, enhancing our understanding of the Moon’s geology and environment. Its advanced technology allows it to photograph the Moon's features with great detail, even in darkness or shadowed areas, contributing valuable data for lunar science.
