A propos de cet article

The Apollo metric camera system was flown to acquire photographic data with high accuracy to aid the effort of Moon mapping, both for operational reasons and for future study and research. To complement this photography, NASA selected the panoramic camera to provide high-resolution (nearly 1 m) photography of lunar surface features for detailed analysis and photointerpretation. It was NASA's hope that this selection from some 18 000 metric, panoramic, and other camera views of the Moon will inspire further interest in Apollo photographs.
