NASA Kicks Off A Lunar Summer
Celebrating 50 years Since Apollo Landing And A Decade Of Mapping The Moon NASA Wants To Hear Your Apollo Story


On July 20, 1969, people from all over the world tuned in to watch Apollo 11 astronauts make history by setting foot on the Moon for the first time. NASA is celebrating 50 years since this iconic event with a summer of celebration, as we look back on this milestone and look forward to returning to the Moon in the near future.

Using 10 years of stunning imagery from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists have been mapping the Moon in exquisite detail, giving us new insight about where to explore next.

Chat with NASA scientists on June 20 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST about the past, present and future of lunar and solar system exploration. Find out how your viewers can share their memories of Apollo and their excitement for the next generation of lunar explorers.

And check out the new NASA Explorers: Apollo audio series! It's an audio series that tells stories of the Moon and the people who explore it. LISTEN HERE!

The moon is singular as well, but it touches us more profoundly. It is a constant personal companion; its reach is universal and timeless. We can now experience the moon more fully, day and night, with detailed views captured from space at our fingertips. Since 2009, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft has collected hundreds of thousands of images of the moon and beamed them to Earth. Combined into a global mosaic, the images provide a dynamic look at how the moon’s surface is changing over time. But individually, the striking visual contrasts of the grey-tone landscapes convey rich texture and abstract beauty.

The Lunar Module, nicknamed Eagle and flown by Neil Armstrong and Edwin \"Buzz\" Aldrin, touched down near the southern rim of the Sea of Tranquility, one of the large, dark basins that contribute to the Man in the Moon visible from Earth. Armstrong and Aldrin spent about two hours outside the LM setting up experiments and collecting samples. At one point, Armstrong ventured east of the LM to examine a small crater, dubbed Little West, that he'd flown over just before landing.The trails of disturbed regolith created by the astronauts' boots are still clearly visible in photographs of the landing site taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) narrow-angle camera (LROC) more than four decades later.LROC imagery makes it possible to visit the landing site in a whole new way by flying around a three-dimensional model of the site. LROC scientists created the digital elevation model using a stereo pair of images. Each image in the pair shows the site from a slightly different angle, allowing sophisticated software to infer the shape of the terrain, similar to the way that left and right eye views are combined in the brain to produce the perception of depth.The animator draped an LROC photograph over the terrain model. He also added a 3D model of the LM descent stage—the real LM in the photograph looks oddly flat when viewed at an oblique angle.Although the area around the site is relatively flat by lunar standards, West Crater (the big brother of the crater visited by Armstrong) appears in dramatic relief near the eastern edge of the terrain model. Ejecta from West comprises the boulders that Armstrong had to avoid as he searched for a safe landing site.Apollo 11 was the first of six increasingly ambitious crewed lunar landings. The exploration of the lunar surface by the Apollo astronauts, when combined with the wealth of remote sensing data now being returned by LRO, continues to inform our understanding of our nearest neighbor in space. || ", "release_date": "2014-07-18T09:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2025-01-06T00:06:45.362351-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 453511, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a004100/a004185/G2014-064_print.jpg", "filename": "G2014-064_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "The Apollo 11 landing site visualized in three dimensions using photography and a stereo digital elevation model from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera.
