Erwan Mazarico, a co-investigator for the LOLA instrument. “The LOLA data are a foundational dataset to be used in multiple types of studies for years to come,” said Dr. The second map (Sheet 2) is based on topographic data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA), another instrument onboard the LRO.

The first map (Sheet 1) is an image mosaic based on data from the Wide Angle Camera (WAC), a camera onboard the LRO. These new maps were constructed using images and topographic (elevation) data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which has been orbiting the Moon since 2009. The figure is centered at about 11° east longitude and +9° latitude. Copernicus crater, a 96 km diameter crater, is on the left. This figure is a close-up of the Image Map of the Moon showing the Apollo landing sites and some other successful landed missions near them.
