Reminder, the spectacular LROC Northern Polar Mosaic (LNPM) is available through three interfaces.

Ranger and Apollo SIV-B impact crater images added to the LROC Featured Sites page!

Important change to the LROC PDS archive -- effective immediately. New regulations from the Consolidation and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-6, Section 516) regarding Information Technology result in new lengthy purchase reviews for all NASA IT acquisitions. Due to these new reviews the LROC team has not yet been able to acquire the annual increase in disk storage required to sustain LROC operations and the full LROC PDS archive. To insure continued operations and data processing of EDR (raw image data) and RDR (maps and topography) products, the LROC Team will be deleting existing CDRs (Calibrated Data Record) products from the PDS repository.

New LROC Narrow Angle Camera topographic maps added to the online archive.

The LROC Team is providing a new way to access and interact with the LROC PDS archive -- Lunaserv. This new WMS interface is designed to make data search access easier and more intuitive.

Try out the LROC browse interface called Quickmap. A few improvements have been made since its release, and more are coming. Start at reduced WAC resolution and end up on the surface at full NAC resolution!

The LROC Team released 57 new high resolution digital terrain models (DTM) on 15 January 2012.

The WAC global Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is available on the LROC RDR webpage!

The LROC Featured Image is on vacation this week - please check back the week of August 23rd.
