NASA | A Tour of the LRO Instrument Suite

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the LRO spacecraft and its mission to map the moon. It covers the spacecraft's components, including its propulsion system and high-gain antenna. The tutorial explains how the LRO captures high-resolution images and creates topographic maps using a laser altimeter. It also discusses the measurement of temperature variations and surface properties with the diviner experiment. Additionally, the video explores water detection techniques using a UV spectrometer and neutron detector, and introduces an advanced radar system for detecting surface roughness and buried ice.
