NASA Lunar Archive Images...

Has anyone delved into this directory from NASA? (now defunct Lunar Prospector site)

It is an image archive directory tree structure (you can navigate the raw tree without the use of any pesky html window dressing). I don't know if theres anything here, if the images have been sanitized etc...

I believe we can request from NASA prints of any of the images in large format. Would be nice if they sent the 70mm negative as well!

The tree directory has sub-dirs named "MOON" and "SPACECRAFT" with sub-dirs of hi/med/low resolution.

There are also dirs named soviet, and others...

These don't really seem to be populated however on a cursory check....

And here is a neat moon phase gif I found:

[EDIT] More information on this site...I guess the "OFFICIAL" statement by the site is that "The Lunar Prospector Archives is no longer operational. The assets to run these multimedia files are not available."

So the image archive database does not contain a link from the "proper html pages of the official site". Well we can work around that! I've found the other archives of:
