NASA Probe Could Reveal Apollo Landing Sites

NASA plans to launch a new probe to take detailed photographs and other readings of the Moon. Photographs taken by the spacecraft, called the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), will be of such high resolution that the landing sites and even lunar rovers of the Apollo manned missions of the 1960's and 1970's will be visible.

The LRO, due to be launched around 2008, is designed to use on-board instruments to take photographs and laser altimetry of the lunar surface in preparation for NASA's future manned missions to the Moon. NASA specifically plans to direct the craft to take photographs of Apollo landing sites.

One only hopes that this will finally quell any speculation that NASA did not really succeed in sending men on the Moon and that the landings there were faked.
