On-line Resources for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite(LCROSS)
Many NASA departments and affiliated support organizations are responsible for operating the LRO & LCROSS spacecrafts....and each component of the mission has it's own team - with associated web site.
Here are the different sites:
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter -
lro.gsfc.nasa.gov/
NASA's main site for the LRO Mission.
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera -
lroc.sese.asu.edu/EPO/LROC/lroc.php
This is a great site, as the zoom in tool uses Google Earth-like interface, allowing the user to dive into the image with very HD clarity.
Highly recommended!
