I just received the following from Shin-ichi Sobue at JAXA:
QUOTE The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) released data from the lunar explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE) (L2 products) during the nominal operation phase (from December 21, 2007 to October 31, 2008) to the public through the Internet. I wish I could post some images but I'm having a bit of trouble with the Data Archive website -- got registered OK, but my searches seem to return database errors. And I couldn't seem to find my way to Terrain Camera data. Perhaps it's because my brain is somewhat mushy from a day of football and beer But I give up for the night and give you guys the link in the hopes you can figure out how to get pretty pictures out of this website!L2 products are calibrated/validated processed data from KAGUYA science mission instruments. By using the L2 products, researchers all over the world are expected to advance the scientific analysis and applicability investigation of the Moon. "KAGUYA 3D Moon NAVI" services, which can show KAGUYA data using a three-dimension geographic information system (WebGIS) through the Internet, have also commenced. The developed software is based on NASA "World Wind" and the KAGUYA's images and data can be displayed using the 3D map projection function. It is necessary to download and install the free software. Please refer to the following homepage for details. L2 products during the extended operational phase (until June 2009) are scheduled to be released after processing and calibration/validation are finished. 【KAGUYA(SELENE) Data Archive】 http://www.soac.selene.isas.jaxa.jp/ 【KAGUYA 3D Moon NAVI】 http://wms.selene.jaxa.jp/3dmoon/index.html I've attached the whole doc that Shin-ichi sent me, which contains a little more info about the data sets in the release. --Emily

Clem laser altimetry was such low resolution that it doesn't help very much here. It's absorbed into the Unified Lunar Control Network. The point really is that, if the Kaguya team did their work properly, which they presumably did, their result will be better than anything older. If there's a mismatch it's more likely to be with the older dataset.
Doug: "I've had no luck with this yet - how are you using the four coordinates, are you ignoring the time fields, and which instrument sets, specifically are you using." First, from the data search page, click product selection - it opens a new window. In it I choose LISM and click 'add all'. The datasets appear in the righthand window. Second, choose (for example) LISM/MAP/TC-Morning-Map, then click 'determination'. Back to the first window - now I select data from that dataset. I ignore time, I use coordinates that bracket an area I'm interested in. For instance, Tycho, lat range -40 to -50, long range 340 to 359. Then click 'search execution'. That takes me to a new page, 'list of search result'. It shows nothing until I again choose the TC morning map line from the product box. But then it lists lots of products, 28 tiles of the big mosaic map. Choose one - click on the file name to see metadata and a thumbnail. Click the order box to order it, and it's put on an FTP server for you. An email tells you how to get it. I have one - it has to be unzipped. I'm still trying to open it, but too busy to do much yet.

Still, I believe there was a version 1 of the Clementine albedo map that was pre-Lunar Control Network, even. If you happen to be using that, I imagine it doesn't match up with the LALT data very well at all. |
