Introduction to Special Section on Results of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter MissionSince 2009 the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has made comprehensive measurements of the Moon and its environment. The seven LRO instruments use a variety of primarily remote sensing techniques to obtain a unique set of observations.
