The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission will conduct investigations preparing for and supporting future human exploration of the moon. The LRO spacecraft will spend at least one year in a low, polar orbit, with all its six instruments working simultaneously to collect detailed information about the lunar environment. The following stills were taken during the building, integrating, and testing of the spacecraft. You can find more images of LRO and its components at LRO's web site: http://lunar.gsfc.nasa.gov
