I have just been advised that a project to scan all 85000 or so Surveyor images (from photo negatives) has been funded, and the entire dataset will be available on the web eventually. Not sure of the timeline


Is there any update to this effort to digitize the Surveyor imagery?

Based on https://sic.lpl.arizona.edu/collection/surveyor-digitization all of the images were scanned, but then the project seems to have stalled out before any PDS-compliant datasets were built. Last update was in 2018?

PDS wants both the image files and the metadata. The people involved probably ran out of time or money before all the metadata could be extracted from the scanned images (there is some detail on this among the links on that page). Ideally the raw scans could be made available without the metadata. I will see if I can find out more.

I have been in touch with the people involved. Money ran out for the metadata part of the job so it has limped along with pro-bono work, but speeded up recently with a student worker. They are close to having it ready for the three later missions and trying to get the first two sorted out.

No timeline yet but good to know progress is being made.

Thank you so much! It's great to hear that smile.gif I've been looking forward to this ever since I learned of the project.

I am posting a set of maps to show the gradual unveiling of the Moon's far side. from what was known before the space age (not quite nothing) up to Clementine, step by step for each mission. They cam be found at:

Some of them have been posted here in the past.

I am just starting a set of maps of every lunar landing site on:

https://mastodon.social/@PhilStooke

Many of these will have appeared on UMSF in the past but this will collect them in one place. Typically there will be one close-up map and one context map. The set will run in chronological order so Luna 9 will be the first. I'll post the first one here but the rest will be on Mastodon.
