I know it may be too early for such a thread, but an announcement has to be made.
The official website of the LROC camera is: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/ A brief description plus status is available here: http://www.msss.com/lro/lroc/index.html |

I'm impressed that the first calibration image, from the "commissioning" orbit (higher than the final science orbit, IIRC) is stated to have a resolution of 73cm per pixel.

The current orbit is 30kmx199km. Periapsis is at the south pole. The science orbit is nominally 50km circular. So this image, assuming that the resolution is listed correctly, was taken at a lower altitude than the science orbit. The nominal resolution is 50 cm from 50 km (1 m summed).
