Summary
| Description |
English: Picture taken by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) of Apollo 11 after LRO dropped into its 50 km mapping orbit. At this altitude, very small details of Tranquility Base can be discerned. The footpads of the LM are clearly discernible. Components of the Early Apollo Science Experiments Package (EASEP) are easily seen, as well. Boulders from West Crater lying on the surface to the east stand out, and the many small craters that cover the moon are visible to the southeast. The LROC can take high resolution black-and-white images of the lunar surface, capturing images of the poles with resolutions down to 1 m (3.3 feet). |
