Thought this deserved a new thread- we can't talk about EVERY LRO target in the one thread smile.gif

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.

A bit more on Apollo 14:

The tracks from Station A to Station B are very clear, even the little loop they did at Station B around a little crater. Tracks from LM to A are visible too. I can't see the return tracks from Station G around North Triplet at all.

(no crater doubling here - it's all in how you deal with the stripes!)
