The map was normalized to the angles of phase (g) = incidence (i) = 60°, emission (e) = 0° by Hapke bidirectional reflectance function using Hapke parameter maps. The mosaic was constructed from ~124,300 WAC images acquired from Januto May 1st, 2013. Photometrically normalized 7-color semi-global mosaic using Hapke parameter mapsĭescription: Hapke photometric parameter maps (w,b,c,bc0,hc,bs0,hs,theta,phi) in 1 deg x 1 deg tiles for the 7 bands of the WAC. Purpose: Characterize lunar resources such as abundance of ilmenite. Nomalized WAC pixels for each location were combined using the median (average n=142), so each mosaic value is using information from many observations. Each pixel from the WAC observations were photometrically normalized to a standard geometry of 30 degrees incidence angle, 0 degrees emission angle, and 30 degress phase angle using an empirically derived global photometric function.

RDR Product Software Interface Specification (SIS)īinned Data Record (Part of LROC RDR Data) - Region of Interest Map (NAC_ROI and WAC_ROI)ĭescription: Approximately 50 NAC high-resolution uncontrolled image mosaics are created in support of high-priority landing site areas at 0.5 m/pixel sampling. Purpose: Provide detailed synoptic maps of polar regions

Meter-scale coverage overlapping with Apollo era Panoramic images (1-2 m/pixel) to document the number of small impacts since 1971-1972, to ascertain hazards for future surface operations and interplanetary travel.Įxperiment Data Record - Panchromatic Narrow-Angle Camera ImagesĮDR/CDR/RDR Product Software Interface Specification (SIS)Īrchive Software Interface Specification (SIS)Įxperiment Data Record - Monochromatic and seven band Wide-Angle Camera ImagesĬalibrated Data Record - Calibrated Panchromatic Narrow-Angle Camera ImagesĬalibrated Experimental Data Record - Calibrated Monochromatic and Seven-Band Wide-Angle Camera Imagesīinned Data Record - Narrow-Angle Camera Polar Map (NAC_POLE)ĭescription: NAC 2.0 m/pixel uncontrolled best-effort mosaics of polar regions 90 to 85.5° latitude Sub-meter imaging of a variety of geologic units to characterize physical properties and variability of the regolith Multiple coregistered observations of portions of potential landing sites and elsewhere for derivation of high-resolution topography through stereogrammetric and photometric stereo analysesĪ global multispectral data set in 7 wavelengths (300-680 nm) to characterize lunar resources, in particular ilmeniteĪ global 100- m/pixel basemap with incidence angles (60-80Á) favorable for morphologic interpretations Meter-scale mapping of regions of permanent or near-permanent illumination of polar massifs In addition to these two primary objectives, LROC will return six other high-value datasets: Synoptic 100 m/pixel imaging of the poles during every orbit for a year will unambiguously identify regions of permanent shadow and permanent or near-permanent illumination. LROC will acquire images to assess meter and smaller scale features to facilitate safety analysis for potential lunar landing sites near polar resources and elsewhere on the Moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) has been designed to address two of the measurement requirements: Search Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter LROC data in Lunar ODE: Product Search Mission: Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC)
