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.

QUOTE Or maybe the big S-band deployable antenna... I would go for the antenna too, even though it wouldn't cast a so distinct shadow... Do you think the nylon of the flag would survive 40 years up there? -------------------- |

One should remember though that the S-Band antenna blew over during the hot-fire jets check shortly prior lift-off. MET shadow? |

Anybody else having trouble finding the landing sites from the Zoomify big pictures on the LROC site? Man! I keep scrolling, hunting, but I can't find anything yet. Maybe I'm too excited. I'm using the larger scale maps from Lunar Orbiter for context, putting the image in Lat/Long focus around the published location for the site, and still no use... I thought I had a good eye! If anybody can give me a rough location on the big strip for Apollo 14, I would be much obliged.
