The first image LOIRP recovered was "Earthrise," reconstructed in 2008 and was shown on the front pages of the Los Angeles Times, and written about on The New York Times Op Ed page. Since 2008 LOIRP has been able to not only recover almost 98% of the original photographs, but reproduce them in much higher resolution and with enhanced details. We are ready to share them with the world.

Our art team has developed a beautiful book featuring the most striking of these magisterial lunar photographs, along with essays on the history of Lunar Orbiter Missions, the efforts of the LOIRP team, and technical information about the image capture processes.

The story of Lunar Orbiter, the LOIRP Project, and the finest film cameras ever made, from the Lunar Orbiters will be described. A total of 40 pages of text and lunar images will be yours to enjoy as a collectable of lunar images and history!

We are seeking funding to complete the book, and to produce fine art prints of these beautiful images to share with the public. We are also providing, to donors, certificates of recogntion and large posters of our beautifully restored images.
