Lunar Datasets Earth Based Telescopes Ranger Surveyor Lunar Orbiter Apollo Photography –handheld –automated Apollo Laser Altimetry Apollo Elemental Soviet Surface Imaging Earth Based Radar Clementine –Imaging, topography Lunar Prospector –Elemental maps Gravity Global Control Network Chang’e, Kaguya Chandrayaan 1, LRO Review relevant image datasets, existing and upcoming

Lunar Orbiter Best existing global BW morphology dataset (60 m/pix near and ~300 far m/pix) USGS LO negatives global map scan project “completed” High resolution mapping of equatorial regions (LO 1,2,3) Synoptic mapping (LO 4) High-resolution coverage of science targets (LO 5) High Resolution LO Coverage: –~1m/pixel of 1% of Moon –~10 m/pixel covers ~12% –Nearside at ~60 m/pixel –Farside ~300 m/pixel –Quality varies

Apollo Photography Handheld 70-mm –10,000 Color –10,000 BW –Orbit, surface Metric Camera (Ap 15-17) –BW, 127 x 127 mm (~8m/pixel) Panoramic Camera (Ap 15-17) –BW, 127 mm x 1 m (1m/pixel) 35-mm, Ap 14 Hycon, surface stereo… JSC/ASU Apollo Flight Film Scanning Project underway!! –All flight films scanned by end 2009 –Accessible online at: AS15-M-0284 Apollo 14 at Frau Mauro

Apollo Metric/Pan Camera Coverage True stereo, incidence angle ranges from 90° to near 0°, simultaneous laser altimeter point (~10,000 negatives). Panoramic camera footprints very similar (~4800 negatives). Full resolution digital scan project in progress! See information in registration folder.
