Published on 16 Mar 2020 'Shaping' Lunar Science with Vector Data Twenty new shapefiles created by the LROC Team are now available! A few of the shapefiles shown here include mare age units, footprints of digital terrain models (DTMs), and the locations of small geologic features such as irregular mare patches (IMPs) and lobate scarps [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 18 Jul 2017 Spacecraft Related Coordinates - 2016 Update Luna 17, the intrepid lander that carried the Lunokhod 1 rover to the surface. You can make out the rover's tracks around the lander, the tight circles were formed as the Earth-bound drivers tested out the maneuverability of their just released rover.

Apollo 16 S-IVB Impact Crater Newly discovered Apollo 16 S-IVB stage impact crater, image is 400 m wide, north is up (M183689432L) Published on 02 Dec 2015 LADEE Impact Crater Found! LADEE impact site on the eastern rim of Sundman V crater, the spacecraft was heading west when it impacted the surface. The image was created by ratioing two images, one taken before the impact and another after the impact. The bright area shows the impact point and the ejecta (things that have changed between the time of the two images). The ejecta form a V shaped pattern extending to the northwest from the impact point. Ratio constructed with LROC images M1163066820RE and M1101816767RE (NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University). Published on 28 Oct 2014 Still There! Four LROC NAC views of the Chang'e 3 landing site: A) before landing, 30 June 2013, B) after landing, 25 December 2013, C) 21 January 2014, D) 17 February 2014. Each image is enlarged by a factor of two, width of each is 200 meters (656 feet). Follow Yutu's path clockwise around the lander in panel D [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
