The texture “USGS Unified Geological 2020” This particularly highlights the ejecta from recent craters. It is a black and white albedo texture, but the gray levels are reversed as in a photo negative. The initial texture only includes the zones between -60 ° and + 60 ° latitude and the polar zones have been reconstructed from other LRO data. It is not a photograph because it was established by computer from the altimetric data collected by the two probes to create a DEM (Digital Elevation Model). This texture has a variable resolution reaching 60 m / pixel in the best places. Mosaic of the original images of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (USA) and Kaguya (Japan) probes assembled from USGS data. The reconstructed texture “LOLA-Kaguya-Shaded” The one we are introducing today in the VMA corresponds to the highest resolution available to date.

As full coverage at a given resolution progresses, Mark Robinson of Arizona State University and his LRO team publish new global maps of the Moon. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, currently in lunar orbit, transmits images of the lunar surface reaching a resolution of 1 m. The level 6 “LRO / Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter” photographic texture: Introduction of various translations of the VMA interface or of certain databases in German, Catalan, Croatian, Spanish, Greek, Dutch, Hungarian, Italian and Lithuanian, in addition to French and English.
