The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) team carefully reconstructed the traverse of Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on a minute-by-minute basis from the 16 mm sequence camera, television video, voice transcript, surface photography, and LROC NAC images (as well as pre-existing work). In many cases the locations of the astronaut activities were significantly improved.
Improvements include:
- Accurately geolocated astronaut footpaths
- Narrowed down the area of the selected / bulk sample collection
- Geolocated significant observations
- Compared before and after images to annotate sample locations on Hasselblad panoramas
- Produced comprehensive traverse timeline
