The Chandra observations of the bright portion of the Moon detected X-rays from oxygen, magnesium, aluminum and silicon atoms. The X-rays are produced by fluorescence when solar X-rays bombard the Moon's surface. Note that because of the Chandra viewing angle during its observation, the optical image (shown below) is rotated a few degrees from the X-ray image. Scale:

| Impact Landing Dynamics Facility - Lunar Landing Research Facility - NASA/Langley Research Center (NASA-LaRC)
Construction of backstop. Originally intended for use in conjunction with one of the various apparatus used to simulate astronauts walking on the moon, this backstop was eventually used as a backdrop for the various aircraft crashworthiness studies. By 1972 the Lunar Landing Research Facility was no longer in use for its original purpose. The 23 story structure was swiftly modified to allow engineers to study the dynamics of aircraft crashes...

| Extravehicular Suits - NASA
Missions to the Moon may include up to 24 hours of EVA per astronaut per week. Mission success depends on designing EVA systems and protocols that maximize human performance and efficiency while minimizing health and safety risks for crewmembers. The orange extravehicular suit is worn during launch and landing. The white suit is for Moonwalks and lunar exploration and is self contained.
