LRO - Assembly and Testing Stills (High Res)
You can find more images of LRO and its components at LRO's web site: http://lunar.gsfc.nasa.gov

Here you can see three important parts that are needed to fly a spacecraft. On the left is the avionics module, which contains the electronics used for communication and navigation. In the center is the propulsion module, which contains the spacecraft's fuel. On the right are the reaction wheels, used to change LRO's angular momentum and point the spacecraft in the right direction. One of the medium-sized images in this group contains labels.

A technician integrates one of LRO's narrow angle camera instruments. LROC, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, is actually a suite of cameras that includes two identical narrow angle camera heads to provide 0.5 m scale panchromatic images over a 5 km swath and a wide angle camera head to provide images at a 100 m scale in seven color bands.
