The dark side of the Moon gradually

NASA's Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter (LRO) probe for the first time captured images on the Moon's side that were 100 times higher in resolution than previously captured images.
The clearest images ever taken with Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) laser technology on NASA's LRO probe show that the far side of the Moon also includes a lot of craters. giant.
The southernmost part of the Moon.
Dr. Gregory Neumann , of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said: ' After a year of collecting, we have nearly 3 billion data from LOLA meters on the LRO spacecraft. We expect to continue working at this rate for the next 2 years to complete the mission and beyond. Near the poles, it is hoped to provide a GPS-like positioning capability . '
Dr. Gregory Neumann also suggested that these high-resolution images would be important bases for scientists to come up with plans to bring robots and humans to explore the dark future of the Moon.
The northernmost part of the Moon.
It is known that the LRO laser shooting technology works by sending a laser pulse through an optical lens. Here the pulse will be separated into 5 rays. All 5 rays will come into contact with the Moon's surface and then return to LOLA. After that, LOLA will determine the time the ray travels to the surface, calculating the speed of light.
