Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
node
Has been photographing the Moon since 2009, and located much of the hardware other missions left behind — including several of the sites in this record. Orbiter, operated by NASA of United States. Robotic. This mission holds no surface position: it did not reach the surface at a published coordinate, and Atlas draws no mark for it.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
