Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Animations
Movie   ID   Title
This extended conceptual animation shows the LRO launch, deployment, and mission. LRO will travel with a secondary payload called Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS). The second half of the animation focuses on the LCROSS mission.   10334   LRO/LCROSS Launch, Deploy, and Mission Animation
This animation follows LRO as it moves along its orbit high above the lunar surface.   10281   LRO Tracking (version 2)
Here we follow LRO as it moves along it's orbit high above the lunar surface.   10280   LRO Tracking (version 1)
A 720 degree spin of LRO with labels on the 6 major instruments and Mini-RF technology demonstration.   10279   LRO Spin (instruments labeled)
This is the opening title sequence for LRO videos.   10278   LRO Title Sequence
This animated sequence takes a view from inside a large crater as LRO passes overhead.   10277   LRO Moonview
We get a view from inside the Lambert crater (using a topological DEM model) as LRO passes overhead.   10276   LRO Lambert Crater
This animation tracks with LRO as it passes above a large lunar crater.   10275   LRO Follow Over Crater (version 2)
This animation tracks with LRO as it passes above a large lunar crater.   10274   LRO Follow Over Crater (version 1)
The LRO spacecraft traverses from darkness into daylight.   10273   LRO Distant
This animation is a close-up view highlighting spacecraft instrumentation - pulling away to reveal LRO's track over the moon.   10272   LRO Over Moon
LRO from the Earth to the Moon   10265   LRO from Earth
This animation zooms into the <a href=   3634   Shackleton's Rim Through the Eyes of LRO/LROC
This animation shows some of the first results of the <a href=   3633   The Moon's South Pole in 3D via LRO/LOLA First Light Data

LRO orbit insertion with elapsed time since launch   3612   Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Orbit Insertion
LRO after several burns moves into the desired orbit of the moon.   3603   Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Orbit Insertion - Stereoscopic Version
This short narrated feature describes how LRO's instruments are used collectively to scout for safe landing sites. The crater depicted in this stereoscopic visualization is ficticious and only intended for illustrative purposes. This set provides stereoscopic content (Left and Right Eye separate) of the visualization.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a003500/a003587/script_9206_00.html'>here</a>.   3587   LRO Scouts for Safe Landing Sites - Stereoscopic Version
This set provides stereoscopic images (Left and Right Eye separate) of the visualization. The raw frames provided here have alpha channels and no text labels, so this element can be overlaid over other visuals.   3567   How LRO Will Find Safe Landing Sites on the Moon - Stereoscopic Version
The crater depicted in this animation is ficticious and only intended for illustrative purposes. The animation begins with the reveal of a digital elevation map showing sample lunar topography illustrating the kind of data that LRO's LOLA instrument will collect. From this topographic data level surface areas can be derived as the first step to determining safe landing sites. Next, an example temperature map of the lunar surface is revealed to show the sort of data Diviner will collect. Changes in surface temperature will help determine small rock hazards, since they retain and release heat at a different rate than the surrounding regolith. Large rock hazards can be found with LROC's surface imagery. Finally, removing rock hazard areas from level surface areas reveals potential safe landing sites for future lunar missions.   3533   How LRO Will Find Safe Landing Sites on the Moon (No Narration)
