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. |

A little google indicates that someone had nylon on LDEF. Did they publish? There is probably more oxygen in LEO than on the moon, but it's worth finding the paper if it exists.

There is probably more oxygen in LEO than on the moon... There is far more atomic oxygen being rammed into the target in LEO than on the moon, so the LDEF results are not very applicable. That said, try http://setas-www.larc.nasa.gov/LDEF/index.html -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
