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. |

I went through all the high-res versions of the Hassleblad pics making up a panorama taken by Pete Conrad at the ALSEP site. It shows the complete horizon to the north of the LM, including the area where the bright spot is visible from LRO. There is no sign of the bright object on the horizon. However the surface is slightly undulating and if that is indeed the retro casing, and it's flattened by impact, then it could easily be out of sight in a hollow.
