Surveyor Lunar Roving Vehicle, phase I. Volume V - System evaluation Final technical report
http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntr..._1966004162.pdf -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

The attached picture shows what the camera system was capable of when tested on Earth and gives some idea of the effect of the compression scheme on image quality. Thanks a lot : very interesting. ...And the images were obviously taken in the infrared : look at the whitish grass (above pic) and trees (middle pic) ! |
