Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a special kind of satellite that circles around the Moon, taking pictures and collecting data about the Moon. It helps scientists learn more about the Moon and what it is like up close. The LRO is like a special camera that takes pictures of the Moon from different angles and can help scientists find out what kind of rocks and minerals are on the Moon and how its surface changes over time. It can also help figure out where to land things like robots and people who might one day explore the Moon. Basically, it helps us learn more about the Moon so that one day we can go explore it and land things on it safely.
