LUNAR ORBITER V—FOUR HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHS
ALL GELATIN SILVER PRINTS, EACH 24 x 20 INCHES IN SIZE.
Launched on August 1, 1967, Lunar Orbiter V was the final LO mission, and had the objective of taking additional detailed photographs of potential Apollo landing sites. Known as the "APOLLO ZONE" this area was along the near side equator where a majority of Lunar Orbiter Program photographs were taken. Between August 6 and 18, Lunar Orbiter V took 174 photographs during 69 orbits.
Photograph one. Caption along the lower border reads: "NASA - LRC Lunar Orbiter Project - Mission V, Spacecraft Frame No. 100, 1 of 3 High Resolution, Site 24, GRE 03051200, KI No. 5/20, Photographed: Date: 14 AUG 1967, TIME: 06:10:20.93, READOUT: 23 AUG 1967, SHUTTER .02 Second. Reassembled by: Army Map Service, Corps of Engineers, US Army, 3 SEPT 1967." This frame is located on the lunar near side approximately 4 degrees South Latitude and 4 degrees East Longitude. Hundreds of small craters within the Hipparchus Crater region can be seen. High resolution frames can resolve lunar details up to 2 meters in diameter.
Photograph two. Caption along the lower border reads: "NASA - LRC Lunar Orbiter Project - Mission V, Spacecraft Frame No. 104, 3 of 3 High Resolution, Site 26.1, GRE 08051190, KI No. 5119, Photographed: Date: 14 AUG 1967, TIME: 12:40:36.42, READOUT: 23 AUG 1967, SHUTTER .04 Second. Reassembled by: Army Map Service, Corps of Engineers, US Army, SEPT 15, 1967." The frame is located on the lunar near side approximately 24 degrees North Latitude and 2 degrees East Longitude. Close-up of the Apennine mountain region having bright sunlight off the surface with shadowing seen along the upper center of the image. South of the Apollo 15 landing area.
Photograph three. Caption along the lower border reads: "NASA - LRC Lunar Orbiter Project - Mission V, Spacecraft Frame No. 106, 2 of 3 High Resolution, Site 26.1, GRE 08051190, KI No. 5119, Photographed: Date: 14 AUG 1967, TIME: 12:41:27.62, READOUT: 23 AUG 1967, SHUTTER .04 Second. Reassembled by: Army Map Service, Corps of Engineers, US Army, 16 SEPT 1967." This frame is located on the lunar near side approximately 25 degrees North Latitude and 3 degrees East Longitude. Three rows of mountains are seen with dark shadows toward the top center. The photograph has additional close-ups of the Apennine mountains, very close to the Apollo 15 landing site.
Photograph four. Caption along the lower border reads: "NASA - LRC Lunar Orbiter Project - Mission V, Spacecraft Frame No. 119, 1 of 3 High Resolution, Site 28, GRE 060511500, KI No. 5115, Photographed: Date: 14 AUG 1967, TIME: 22:02:59.50, READOUT: 22 AUG 1967, SHUTTER .04 Second. Reassembled by: Army Map Service, Corps of Engineers, US Army, 7 SEPT 1967." The rough terrain inside Alphonsus crater is evident on this lunar near side image located approximately 13 degrees South Latitude and 4 degrees West Longitude. Prior to the Apollo lunar landings, some scientists thought this area had active volcanism because of occasional sights of light flashes. This was one of several lunar sights that had unusual events known as Transient Lunar Phenomenon.
