The South Pole-Aitken basin, roughly 2100 kilometers (1300 miles) wide and 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, is perhaps the largest impact feature in the solar system. It lies on the far side of the Moon, the hemisphere never visible from Earth, and was found only after spacecraft began visiting the Moon in the 1960s. 3582 Lunar Topography in False Color

This set provides stereoscopic images (Left and Right Eye separate) of the visualization. The raw frames provided here have alpha channels and no text labels, so this element can be overlaid over other visuals. 3567 How LRO Will Find Safe Landing Sites on the Moon - Stereoscopic Version
The crater depicted in this animation is ficticious and only intended for illustrative purposes. The animation begins with the reveal of a digital elevation map showing sample lunar topography illustrating the kind of data that LRO's LOLA instrument will collect. From this topographic data level surface areas can be derived as the first step to determining safe landing sites. Next, an example temperature map of the lunar surface is revealed to show the sort of data Diviner will collect. Changes in surface temperature will help determine small rock hazards, since they retain and release heat at a different rate than the surrounding regolith. Large rock hazards can be found with LROC's surface imagery. Finally, removing rock hazard areas from level surface areas reveals potential safe landing sites for future lunar missions. 3533 How LRO Will Find Safe Landing Sites on the Moon (No Narration)

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is the first mission in NASA's planned return to the moon. LRO is an unmanned mission to create the comprehensive atlas of the moon's features and resources necessary to design all future lunar exploration efforts. LRO focuses on the selection of safe landing sites, identification of lunar resources and the study of how lunar radiation will affect humans.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10438 LRO: Mapping Our Future

LRO will be launched via an Atlas V 401 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It will take approximately four days for the satellite to travel to and then enter the moon's orbit. This video is from the launch of the MOR Mission. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter or LRO will give scientists more information about the structure of the Moon’s interior; the types of rock found there, events that shaped it, and the conditions that exist at the surface. 10335 The Atlas V Rocket Is Readied
<b><font size='-1'>A 30 Foot Cable for Laser Ranging</font></b><br/><br/>This fiber optic cable attaches to the back of the Laser Ranging Telescope at the end of the High Gain Antenna boom. It actually has three segments that connect to each other. The first two segments are used to transfer the lights from the back of the telescope to the bottom of the boom. The third segment is used to transfer the light from the bottom of the boom to the LOLA instrument. This cable was carefully handmade at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.<br/> 10326 Assembly of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
