44-Ranger9.jpgPtolemaeus, Alphonsus and Albategnius Crater58 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 9 B-camera image from 2500 km showing Ptolemaeus, Alphonsus, and Albategnius craters. Ptolemaeus is the large (164 Km diameter) flat-floored crater at the top. Alphonsus, diameter 108 Km, is at lower left and the 114 Km Albategnius crater is at lower right. The terminator runs through the lower corner. Ranger 9 impacted in Alphonsus Crater 18,5 minutes after this image was taken. North is at 12:30 (Ranger 9, B001)".

24-Farside-Luna3.jpgThe Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3"57 visiteCaption NASA originale:"The Luna 3 spacecraft returned the first views ever of the far side of the Moon. The first image was taken at 03:30 UT on 7 October at a distance of 63,500 km after Luna 3 had passed the Moon and looked back at the sunlit far side. The last image was taken 40 minutes later from 66,700 km. A total of 29 photographs were taken, covering 70% of the far side. The photographs were very noisy and of low resolution, but many features could be recognized. This close up view taken with the narrow angle camera shows the far side has fewer maria (the dark areas) than the near side. The image is centered at 20 N, 95 E and the dark area to the left and just below center is Mare Marginus and below that Mare Smythii, just at the boundary between the near and far sides. The left half of the image shows the near side of the Moon, including the circular Mare Crisium at far left. The Moon is 3475 km in diameter and north is up (Luna 3-27)".

33-Ranger7.jpgGuericke Crater57 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 7 B-camera image of Guericke Crater (11.5° S, 14.1° W, diameter 63 Km) taken from a distance of 1335 Km. The dark flat floor of Mare Nubium dominates most of the image, which was taken 8,5 minutes before Ranger 7 impacted the Moon on 31 July 1964. The frame is about 230 Km across and north is at 12:30. The impact site is off the frame to the left (Ranger 7, B100)".

27-Farside-Luna3~0.jpgThe first - noisy - close-up of the Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3"56 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This close up view taken with the narrow angle camera shows the far side has fewer maria (the dark areas) than the near side. This image is centered at 17° N, 110° E, the dark region below and left of center is Mare Smythii, the bright crater above and left of center is Giordano Bruno. North is up (Luna 3-6)".

29-Farside-Luna3.jpgThe Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3" (the best picture)56 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This view shows the far side at right and the near side making up about one-third of the image at left. The circular dark patch below and left of center is mare Smythii, on the boundary between the near and far sides. Just above this is Mare Marginus. The dark circle at upper right is Mare Moscoviense and at lower right is the crater Tsiolkovskiy with its light central peak. The image is centered at 10° N, 110° E; North is at 11:30 (Luna 3-phc7)".

31-Ranger7.jpgMare Nubium: Alphonsus, Ptolemaeus and Arzachel Crater from Ranger 756 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 7 took this image, the first picture of the Moon by a U.S. spacecraft, on 31 July 1964 at 13:09 UT (9:09 AM EDT) about 17 minutes before impacting the Lunar Surface. The area photographed is centered at 13° S, 10° W and covers about 360 Km from top to bottom. The large crater at center right is the 108 Km diameter Alphonsus. Above it is Ptolemaeus and below it Arzachel. The terminator is at the bottom right corner. Mare Nubium is at center and left. North is at about 11:00 at the center of the frame. The Ranger 7 impact site is off the frame, to the left of the upper left corner (Ranger 7, B001)".

32-Ranger7.jpgMare Nubium, Mare Cognitum and Mare Humorum56 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Second image of the Moon taken by the Ranger 7 spacecraft on 31 July 1964. Ranger 7 was the first U.S. spacecraft to successfully transmit images of the Lunar Surface back to Earth. This image was taken 17,2 minutes before impact from a distance of 2158 km. North is at 12:30. Mare Nubium is at lower right and Mare Humorum at lower left. The image is centered at 13° S, 330° E and is about 950 Km across. The Ranger 7 impact site, at 10.7° S, 339.3° E, is at the center of the upper right quadrant, in Mare Cognitum. Landsberg Crater is against the top of the frame at center, and the 60 Km diameter Bullialdus Crater is just below and right of center, partly obscured by a hash mark (Ranger 7, A001)".

34-Ranger7.jpgMare Nubium and Fra Mauro Area (Apollo 14 Landing Site)56 visiteCaption NASA originale"Ranger 7 image of Mare Nubium taken 8,5 minutes before impact from 1170 Km. 60 Km diameter Bullialdus Crater is at bottom center and 43 Km Lubiniezky is just above it to the left. The small crater below and right of the central reticle is Darney. The Fra Mauro region is in the upper right corner and Montes Riphaeus are the white arc near the top center of the image. The impact point is midway between the reticle right of the center and the one above it. North is up (Ranger 7, A100)".

36-Ranger7.jpgThe "floor" of Mare Nubium56 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Final image taken by Ranger 7 camera A before impact at 10.59 S°, 20.68° W. This image was taken from a distance of 6,5 Km only 2,5 seconds before impact. The frame is about 2,7 Km across and north is up. The impact point is just above and right of the central reticle. At this high resolution (about 5 meters) the flat floor of Mare Nubium was shown to be peppered with small impact craters (Ranger 7, A199)".
