Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera: First Results

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Cameras (NAC) and Wide Angle Camera (WAC) commenced data collection from lunar orbit on 30 June 2009. The two NACs are monochrome narrow-angle linescan imagers (0.5m/pixel) while WAC is a 7-color push-frame camera (100 and 400 m/pixel visible and UV, respectively). To date (May 2010) LROC has collected over 25 Terabytes of raw data while LRO orbited the Moon over 4000 times.
