LROC (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera)

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) is a powerful imaging system aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been studying the Moon since 2009. LROC captures extremely detailed images of the Moon's surface, revealing features as small as a meter across. This helps scientists understand the Moon's geology, map its resources, and assess potential landing sites for future missions. The data from LROC also contributes to our knowledge of lunar history and the impact of space weathering. Overall, it plays a crucial role in lunar exploration and our understanding of the Moon's environment.
