Meanings of lunar orbiter in inglés

Ambition: Selene-2 lunar orbiter, lander and rover for launch in 2017.

In 2020, the Indian Space Research Organisation wants to follow up its successful lunar orbiter by landing an astronaut on the moon.

The lunar orbiter included a small Moon Impact Probe that landed in November and planted the Indian flag on the lunar surface.

Mark Robinson, who analysed data from the lunar orbiter's camera, says he's surprised they survived the harsh ultraviolet light and temperatures of the moon's surface.

In addition to providing valuable scientific data, Ranger images of specific sites would aid interpretation of Lunar Orbiter and orbital Apollo images.

In December 1963, three of NASA's four approved robotic exploration programs - Ranger, Surveyor, and Lunar Orbiter - focused on the moon.

Yates selected as his LLM-3 landing site an area photographed by the Lunar Orbiter III spacecraft between February and October 1967.

But never fear, because the LRO's Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) excels at scanning the topography of the poles, it can fill in the gaps.
