LRO Camera (LROC)

LRO Camera (LROC) refers to the imaging system on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which studies the Moon. It consists of two cameras: a wide-angle camera for detailed surface mapping and a high-resolution camera for capturing close-up images of lunar features. LROC helps scientists understand the Moon's geology, locate landing sites for future missions, and identify safe areas for exploration. By providing detailed images of the lunar surface from orbit, it contributes vital information for scientific research and future lunar exploration planning.
