Lunar Orbiter Image Recover Project Status Report 17 August 2012
Dennis Wingo: Well today a milestone was reached in that we have now finsihed all 103 Madrid tapes for lunar orbiter III. Prior to this we had completed 79 Woomera tapes for LO-III since May. Additionally, we did seven Lunar Orbiter V tapes looking down into the Copernicus crater and adjacent areas. Today, just as a test we did a Lunar Orbiter III Goldstone tape. So, since May fifth we have digitized a total of 190 tapes.
We aren’t going to charge in and start doing Goldstone tapes right now. Neulyn Moss is putting together a spreadsheet that will show how many framelets (a lunar orbiter high resolution image has 96 framelets and a medium resolution image has 28 framelets) we have for each of the images from LOIII. The way the tapes were recorded, they did not begin and end at the beginning or end of an image. Thus we have many complete images but we also have lots and lots of partial images.

Hacking Soviet Moon Photos
Scooping the Soviets, Paul Spudis
“The team at Jodrell Bank assumed that the mission was over, surmising that Luna 9 probably hit the Moon too hard or was designed as a crash lander. Then to their astonishment, the probe began transmitting radio signals and the observatory recorded them, uncertain as to their meaning. Lovell thought – suppose these signals were simply an ordinary telefax communication? If these transmissions were pictures of the lunar surface, perhaps the signals the observatory recorded could be read by a commercial facsimile machine. But Jodrell Bank Observatory had no such machine; the observatory was a scientific laboratory, which in those days displayed its received radio signals in the form of line graphs made by paper strip recorders.”
