Get ready to embark on an exciting journey with our video series exploring how NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission is laying the groundwork for future Artemis science. This first episode focuses on the LOLA (Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter) instrument aboard the spacecraft. LOLA provides topographic data on the lunar surface, and the information collected also makes it possible to simulate sunlight and shadow on the Moon at any date in the past or future. This episode features two data visualizations that showcase this at the lunar South Pole. LOLA data is vital to Artemis for planning exploration endeavors.
