List, I stand partly corrected. LRO did take many photos. When speaking of the Japanese accomplishments I was referring to the SELENE lunar orbiter. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched their SELENE lunar orbiter on September 14, 2007 (JST) from Tanegashima Space Center. SELENE orbited the Moon at about 100 kilometers (62 mi) altitude. In May 2008 JAXA reported detecting the "halo" generated by the Apollo 15 lunar module engine exhaust from a Terrain Camera image.[55] A 3-D reconstructed photo also matched the terrain of an Apollo 15 photograph taken from the surface.
