Lunar Orbiter 3 Image 3121_H1 – Tsiolkovskiy Crater
Keith’s note: This newly retrieved high resolution image, frame 3121_H1, was taken by Lunar Orbiter 3 on 19 February 1967 at 19:22 GMT. The prominent feature in this image is Tsiolkovskiy, a large impact crater located on the far side of the Moon. We’ll be posting a total of 4 recently retrieved Lunar Orbiter 3 images of the Tsiolkovskiy region this week at the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project.

    We are really proud of this image as the ground resolution of 33 meters in 1966 is astounding…..

    Very good work, gentlemen! Tsiolkovsky – a place humans should walk in as soon as possible.
