NASA - Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project
Between 1966 and 1967 NASA sent five Lunar Orbiter spacecraft to the Moon. Images from these spacecraft were used by mission planners to select the Apollo landing sites on the moon. In the late 1960s, after the Apollo era, Lunar Orbiter analog tapes were
Earthrise
Behind the counter of an abandoned McDonalds lie 48,000 lbs of 70mm tape… the only copy of extremely high-resolution images of the moon.
Pirate McDonalds
Forty years ago, unmanned lunar orbiters circled the moon taking extremely high-res photos of the surface to plan landing spots for Apollo 11 onward... In this McDonalds, the only copy of that data is about to be resurrected. Erik and I dropped in for a v
Restoring Forgotten Lunar Orbiter Images
The tapes were recorded 42 years ago by Lunar Orbiter 1 to map the lunar surface to plan landing spots for Apollo 11 onward. They have never been seen by the public because at the time, they were classified as they reveal the extreme precision of our 1960
View NSIDC Data on Virtual Globes: Google Earth
The National Snow and Ice Data Center offers some of our data in the form of images. We have created Google Earth™ files that enable you to overlay the following data-based images on a virtual globe. Our goal is to help people better understand the cryo
Man-Systems Integration Standards (MSIS)
NASA-STD-3000 provides a single, comprehensive document defining all generic requirements for space facilities and related equipment which directly interface with crewmembers.
WMAP Observatory: Lagrange Points
Lagrange discovered five points near two orbiting masses where smaller mass can orbit at fixed distance from larger masses. Lagrange Points mark where gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals centripetal force required to rotate with them.
