In 2011, LRO data led to production of the highest-resolution, near-topographical map of the Moon. LRO has taken high-resolution photographs of myriad lunar landing sites from NASA’s Apollo missions and others.

"...a single #Artemis launch at least $4.2 billion" 💰💰💰💰#NASA Office of Inspector General May 25, 2023 oig.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/202… (page 14/20) #LaunchCost #SLS

SLS Booster and Engine Development Efforts
Have Experienced Significant Cost Increases and
Schedule Delays

As a result of the cost and schedule increases under these four contracts, we calculate NASA will spend $13.1 billion through 2031 on boosters and engines, which includes $8.6 billion in current expenditures and obligations and at least $4.6 billion in future contract obligations. Looking more broadly, the cost
impact from these four contracts increases our projected cost of each SLS by $144 million through Artemis IV, increasing a single Artemis launch to at least $4.2 billion.
