LRO L-14 Press Conference Supporting Videos

LRO From Launch to Orbit

This video starts with LRO launch animation, shows the spacecraft's path to orbit, and ends with the spacecraft animated over the lunar surface.

LRO Instrument Montage

LRO has six scientific instruments and one technology demonstration. This video shows a split screen with where they are on board and images of them being integrated at Goddard Space Flight Center.

LRO/LCROSS Stacked and Ready for Encapsulation (still)

This photo shows the LRO and LCROSS spacecrafts mated together and sitting outside of the rocket fairing ready to be encapsulated for their trip to space. (credit: KSC)

LRO Data Collection

This video gives an idea of how LRO will collect swaths of data (in this case topography). Note how data coverage is denser at the poles than at the equator. (some elevation data provided by JAXA/SELENE)

LRO Safe Landings Roll-In

This video illustrates how LRO's datasets will be combined to complete its mission objectives.

Lunar Topography in False Color

This video uses existing datasets to show in a rough way what LRO's topography data might look like (some elevation data provided by JAXA/SELENE).
