The Next Moon Landing Will Be in High-Definition
The grainy videos from the Apollo Moon landings are treasured historical artifacts. For many of us, that footage will be lodged in our minds until our final synaptic spark sputters out. But like all technology since the space race days, video technology has advanced enormously, and the next Moon landings will be captured in high-definition video. The ESA is so focused on getting it right that they're practicing filming lunar landings in a special studio that mimics the conditions on the lunar surface.
The goal is to produce realistic video clips of lunar operations that mission planners can use as reference files.

The CCSDS determines which types of files and compression will be used to bring data and video home from the lunar surface.
