Apollo 11 Mission Spatiotemporal Shapefiles

This dataset contains the spatio-temporal traverse mapping data for the Apollo 11 mission. This data includes astronaut point locations and traverse routes, Hasselblad and Apollo Lunar Surface Close-up Camera (ALSCC) photograph locations, and sample locations. It also includes mission transcript CSVs which integrate the mapping data with the dialogue.

All mapping has been done relative to the LROC NAC DTM of the Apollo 11 landing site, NAC_DTM_APOLLO11, including using the same equirectangular map projection centered at 1°N, 180°E.
