NASA LRO/LCROSS Resources for IYA Summer Star Parties

As we explore the Moon with IYA's Summer Star Party, NASA is exploring the
Moon with two new robotic probes. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
is creating a comprehensive atlas of the Moon and returning amazing,
high-resolution images of the Apollo landing sites. The Lunar CRater
Observation and Sensing satellite (LCROSS) is positioning itself for a
spectacular lunar impact, directing the Centaur upper stage of its launch
vehicle into a permanently-shadowed crater at the Moon's south pole.

Enhance your IYA Summer Star Party experience with information from
the mission websites:

and

Special mission resources including presentations and videos are available
to you at:
