LROC Images

The professional lunar scientists on the LROC Team regularly produce Featured Images, which highlight the incredibly fascinating geology and immense Exploration importance of features found in LROC images.

Every featured image is released to our Browse Gallery. While the Featured Images PR provide a lower resolution image and insightful caption, these same images are released to the Browse Gallery in full resolution!

You can zoom in/out and pan around the image, download the raw image file, and learn more about the image.

The LROC NAC is systematically collecting images, with the ultimate goal of complete coverage of the Moon! How to quickly sort through all these data? Quick Map to the rescue!

Quick Map includes overlays of lunar feature names, locations of our featured images, a WAC basemap, WAC topography, NACs with Sun angles to enhance surface features and more. Check back often as the NAC coverage increases and more datasets are added.

Do you have an interest in exploring the Moon but don't know exactly where to start? Why not begin by taking a look at the historic Apollo landing sites! The first entry to the LROC Featured Sites showcases these sites, and will soon include many more sites of interest such as the landing sites of Soviet landed probes and sites of particular geologic interest.

LROC Featured Sites present NAC images to give an up-close view with informational overlays that highlight significant features of each site. The flip book format allows you to travel through multiple images of a given site, arranged in time-of-lunar-day sequence. It's surprising to see the difference the angle of the Sun can make on what is visible.

New sites will continue to be added so check back often.
 

LRO is in the process of mapping the entire Moon through LROC! Check out our vast collection of images and data through this unique interface!

You can rotate the Moon, zoom down to the Moon's surface, deploy exciting image overlays, and much more!

LROC releases much more than just cool images, we also release technical and scientific data collected by LROC.

Our data is arranged in a simple directory fashion to allow for rapid release and access to data.
