This " LRO" spacecraft pick-me-up to explore the perspective of water and other resources on the Moon, as well as planning future missions to the Moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter- LRO is a robotic spacecraft from NASA that currently collects data through images and studies the surface of the moon while orbiting the moon. The primary objective of the LRO was to create a high-resolution 3D map of the lunar surface to aid future robot and crew missions to the moon. In September 2010, LRO completed its primary mapping mission and launched an Extended Science Mission around the Moon. It works under the Science Mission Directorate of NASA.
