We're going back to the moon hopefully in 2024 but compared to the 1960's we need to know a lot more about the moon than we did then if we are to make permanent bases there. So to this end, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was created to map the moon in greater detail than ever before and in the process, it did what no other orbiter has managed to do and that find and image the Apollo sites after 5 decades of being out of sight to us.
