SELENE has now a nickname : KAGUYA.

Thanks for the information. I probably could have found out myself, but I don't have the time to dig through Jaxa's website to get at the specifications of the instruments.
Another question: can the HDTV camera on Kaguya be pointed sideways? All the videos I saw were either forward-looking or backward-looking. |

I imagine the whole spacecraft could be turned sideways, but that'd be the only way. |
