NASA released a great number of high resolution images of the Moon from their Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) There are 55terabytes data and images from the seven instruments on board NASA’s LRO
LRO is scheduled for a one year exploration mission in a polar orbit about 31 miles above the lunar surface. During this time, LRO will produce a comprehensive map of the lunar surface in unprecedented detail, search for resources and potential safe landing sites for a potential future return to the moon and measure lunar temperatures and radiation levels.
