Thought this deserved a new thread- we can't talk about EVERY LRO target in the one thread
 I made a mistake in this one - I didn't include the thruster plume guards. My MER/MPF simulation for HiRISE seemed to come out about right - so fingers crossed that this will be there or there abouts as well. Still in a comissioning phase, something of a slant angle - I'd expect approx 1.5m/pixel if it's at the 120km figure mentioned earlier.

Here's Apollo 17, first quick look.
Phil
The LRV location is a bit vague... is it possible it's the object with a shadow just above my 'LRV' text? -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

YeeHAHHH!!
Great stuff! I make out the '11 site LM at about 200 pixels, some of the others, slightly less. You can clearly see the nozzle shadow going to the bulk of the stage with the plume deflectors very light. I'm trying to convince myself I see the flag - more to study. And they almost got all the sites! Really look forward to the best stuff to come - oh, yah... and all the new places to land and explore. |
