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. |

Poem celebrating LRO's portrait of Tranquility Base: http://twitpic.com/btqo5 Very nice Stu! ..."Here Mankind left the slavery of Terra's tyrannical gravity Behind and dipped its first, trembling toe in the surf Surging at the very edge of that ocean of the night, And first caught sight of our own bright reflection In the cosmos' curious eyes." Caught a moment there alright. Wonder how future poets living on the Moon will write about it -- on the reduced gravity, the continuous black inky sky, the earth rises and sets, and, of course, the landscape? Ahead...new thoughts and new experiences for a new Mankind. John |
