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. |

Newbie questions: With respect to the image orientation, from which direction was the ascent stage expected to come in from? I'm assuming from the right side.
Also, were they intentionally deorbited in any way, or were they completely uncontrolled? Reason I ask is that if they were just allowed to decay then a grazing impact seems possible. Maybe the hardware got widely distributed along the track instead of forming a nice neat crater given the overall fragility of the vehicle. Probably the only thing that could be expected to survive is the engine. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
