Okay, It's June 15. Where's the updated LOLA data? I keep finding the stuff from March in all the usual places. Okay, I'm sure it may take a few days, but does anyone have a clue if the LDEMs are going to get cleaner and crisper this time around?
I've already seen a resin casting of a moon globe made from the LDEM_64 data, but I wanted to wait a bit until more blanks were filled in. Rick |

"I was pleased - and more than a little surprised - to see how precisely the resulting surface normal map matches up with the Clementine version 2 base map, in most areas."
And remember that it's the Clementine map that is wrong if there's a difference. Clementine control, based on a patchwork quilt of thousands of images, will be greatly inferior to this dataset. LOLA is going to be our ultimate lunar control system. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
