Detectors developed in the United States in the 1960s
The Lunar Orbiter 1, a part of the lunar probe, is the first American spacecraft to fly around the moon. It is the first probe around the moon developed by the United States in the 1960s. Its main task is to Apollo spacecraft Take photos of all possible landing sites, measure the meteoroid flux around the moon, and determine the gravitational field of the moon by accurately tracking the detector. After obtaining high-quality medium resolution photos, he landed on the moon as instructed in October 1966.

Lunar orbiter structure
Lunar Orbiter 1 on August 10, 1966 stay Cape Canaveral Air Force Base 13 Launch Complex It was launched into the orbit of 200km near the moon and 1850km far from the moon. After taking a large number of photos of 9 main candidate landing sites and 7 secondary candidate landing sites of Apollo spacecraft and some areas on the back of the moon, and obtaining high-quality medium resolution photos, the Apollo spacecraft landed on the moon hard as instructed in October 1966. The probe also carried out photographic observation before the lunar impact, and sent back the first picture of the Earth taken in lunar orbit, a total of 207 pictures. From 1966 to 1967, the United States launched five "lunar orbiters" around the moon. In addition to the successful impact of lunar orbiter 1 on the moon in a controlled manner, some lunar orbiters crashed freely on the moon surface in a uncontrolled manner as the orbit decreased.

The Space Journey of Kodak Film
In 1966, Kodak The film recorded John Green's space journey with the Lunar Orbiter 1. This camera system can scan the film immediately after taking photos, and convert the image into continuous video signal, which is then received by the earth receiver made by Kodak. At that time, it was the most complicated instrument loaded by spaceships.
