Saturnian satellites are quite different, climber! This is our own satellite, the Moon, the Luna...
EDIT : I did some basic editing of the second image (removed noise, sharpened it a bit)... IMO it looks better now.

Yes, Zvezdichko, you are doing great, and I am very thankful for you keeping us updated. If it weren't for you, I would literally be unaware of this mission's progress.

Yes, a mile a second makes much more sense to me. It never had a chance of surviving impact.

Firstly thanks Z for keeping us all in the know about chandrayaan.Isro has done a very good job,everything has gone perfectly.
I have some questions and i would be grateful if anyone can answer them. Can anyone tell me what was the resolution of the camera carried by MIP? At what altitude were the pics taken? |

Unfortunately there's no information available on the ISRO website about the parameters of the camera. The images taken yesterday are raw data, there's no information about the height, too...
If I find some information, I'll post it here. |

thanks z...there is this other forum you might want to check out.
http://www.chandrayaan-i.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3 Newspaper reports have indicated the probe has impacted near the shackleton crater may be near the rim. |

Well it seems that the camera onboard the MIP performed well.It has generated about 15000 video frames which is going to be turned into a movie showing the entire descent phase of the probe.
Here is the article. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2008/1...11651160300.htm |
