Apollo 17 30th Anniversary: Andes Flyover

Title	Apollo 17 30th Anniversary: Andes Flyover
Abstract	In conjunction with the 30th Anniversary Apollo 17 mission, NASA put together a special release highlighting one of the most popular photos taken during that mission. The photo (#AS17-148-22727) was taken on Dec. 7, 1972 from the Apollo 17 command module. Over the years, many other satellites have taken imagery of Earth, including Terra/MODIS. This animation uses a global mosaic derived from Terra/MODIS and flys us over the Andes Mountains to celebrate how far Earth science imagery has come since the days of Apollo 17.

Apollo 17 30th Anniversary: Earth photo Drift-in

Title	Apollo 17 30th Anniversary: Earth photo Drift-in
Abstract	The Apollo 17 spacecraft was launched from the Kennedy Space Center at midnight on December 7th, 1972. Just hours after lift-off, the command module aligned with the Earth and Sun, allowing the crew to photograph Earth in full light. For the first time in an Apollo mission, the Antarctic continent was visible allowing for a photo to be taken by the orbiting astronauts. The photo was taken at about 18,000 statute miles away from Earth. Virtually every picture showing the full Earth is derived from this one photograph. Television, newspapers, websites, and marketing material have all used this photograph over the years. Geostationary weather satellites, Galileo, and many other spacecraft have returned great pictures of the full Earth from space, but this image is still the number one requested photo in the NASA photo archives.

Hubble Space Telescope Looks at the Moon to Prospect for Resources (Apollo 17 Landing Region)

Title	Hubble Space Telescope Looks at the Moon to Prospect for Resources (Apollo 17 Landing Region)
Abstract	The Hubble Space Telescope looked at specific areas of the moon prospecting for important minerals that may aid future sustained human presence on the moon. Initial analysis of the data indicate the likely presence of titanium and iron oxides. These minerals can be sources of oxygen, essential for human exploration. This visualization starts with a view of the moon as seen from Earth using a USGS Apollo derived artist rendered texture (airbrushed). The camera then zooms into the Apollo 17 landing region using Clementine data (the outer area after the camera pauses), high resolution HST data (the inner area), and Apollo 17 derived topgraphy. Exposure Time: 2.5 minutes Filters: F250W (250nm), F344N (344nm), F502N (502nm), F658N (658nm) Data from these multiple filters were used to produce the mosaic Apollo 17 landing site image.
