LROC 39A PDS Data Release
The 39A LROC Planetary Data System release includes NAC and WAC images acquired from 2019-03-16 through 2019-04-15. This release contains 21,065 EDR images - totaling 2.7 TBytes, and 21,065 CDR images - totaling 5.5 TBytes.
Ten Years of NAC Imaging: Fun Visualization!
This week the LROC team looked back on ten years of lunar exploration at the Planetary Data Workshop, in Flagstaff, AZ. For this presentation, two 80+ GiB montages were created from NAC images collected from first light on 30 June 2009 until 17 June 2019. During a talk one can only give a small glimpse into the entire image, so we are posting the two images here allowing anyone to explore this fun visual and get a sense of just how large is the LROC dataset.
