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. |

This is Apollo 17 station 6, the big split boulder. If you compare it with my first view of it (page 2 of this thread), this is much better. This is from the raw TIFF file, which is much better to work with than the zoomify version. Thanks, Mark Robinson, for letting us have this so soon.
Phil PS - there's a fantastic mountaintop south of the valley at this site with a huge cluster of boulders on it. -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
