=== Potential backup === As a backup for the Lunar Orbiter program, NASA and the NRO cooperated on the [[Lunar Mapping and Survey System]] (LM&SS), based on the [[KH-7]] reconnaissance satellite. Replacing the [[Lunar Module]] in the [[Saturn V]], Apollo astronauts would operate LM&SS remotely in lunar orbit. NASA canceled the project in the summer of 1967 after the complete success of the Lunar Orbiters.<ref name=day20101129>{{cite web |url=http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1734/1 |title=Black Apollo |publisher=www.thespacereview.com |first=Dwayne A. |last=Day |access-date=9 May 2023 |date=29 November 2010}}</ref> <gallery mode=packed heights=180 caption="Engineering mock-up in the National Air and Space Museum"> NASM-A19700318000-NASM2019-06087.jpg NASM-A19700318000-NASM2018-00097.jpg NASM-A19700318000-NASM2019-06086.jpg NASM-A19700318000-NASM2019-06091.jpg </gallery>
