NASA. Superb view of the far side of the Moon from the LUNAR ORBITER V space probe. The detailed observations made by the LUNAR ORBITER missions enabled NASA to select the landing sites for the APOLLO missions from 1969 onwards. Photographs from the LUNAR ORBITER probes were developed on board the spacecraft, scanned and sent back to Earth as radio signals. Their definition was extremely precise. Data were transmitted via the Deep Space Network station at Goldstone, California. October 17, 1967. Slightly later silver print. NASA logo (1st generation) and typed caption on back. 20.4 X 25.7CM with margins.
