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.

Yes, I've kind of discovered that the hard way Except: I suspect now that some of the surface normal maps that have been generated may have slight but problematic offsets, because of the way they're derived from the gridded height map. My previous ones certainly did. |
