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. |

The large image is stunning. You can see the entire outbound segment of EVA2 and much of the return track. Weird Rock is clear, as is the "large boulder" I indicated in my previously-posted descent movie image (post no. 136). My "large boulder" is the one directly south of the last r in the label Weird Crater, not the even larger boulder to its Northeast.
I see an intriguing long bright artefact apparently lying oriented N-S just South of Saddle Rock, near the arrow showing the outbound track. I at first thought this might be the Lunar Portable Magnetometer experiment on legs which was abandoned in this vicinity, but perhaps not... they discussed abandoning it further east, across the nearby crater. |
