The Ranger Spacecraft
The Ranger fleet of spacecraft launched in the mid-sixties provided for the first time live television transmissions of the Moon from lunar orbit. These transmissions resolved surface features as small as 10 inches across and provided over 17, 000 images of the lunar surface. These detailed photographs allowed scientists and engineers to study the Moon in greater detail than ever before thus allowing for the design of a spacecraft that would one day land men of Earth on its surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Ranger Spacecraft, a fleet of pioneering spacecraft that revolutionized our understanding of the Moon in the mid-sixties. These groundbreaking missions marked a significant milestone as they provided humanity with live television transmissions from lunar orbit for the very first time. Through these transmissions, scientists and engineers were able to witness and study the Moon's surface features in unprecedented detail. The technological marvels aboard these spacecraft allowed them to capture over 17,000 awe-inspiring images of the lunar surface. The resolution was so exceptional that even objects as small as 10 inches across could be discerned on these photographs. This wealth of detailed information proved invaluable for researchers who sought to unravel the mysteries held within Earth's celestial neighbor. These meticulously captured photographs played an instrumental role in advancing our knowledge about the Moon, paving the way for future space exploration endeavors. They offered scientists and engineers an unparalleled opportunity to scrutinize every nook and cranny of this enigmatic world like never before. Moreover, armed with this newfound understanding, experts were empowered to design a spacecraft capable of safely transporting humans from Earth's realm all the way down onto its ancient surface. Thus, this extraordinary image print not only encapsulates a pivotal moment in space history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination towards exploring new frontiers beyond our home planet.
