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. |

I am very pleased to see that this is now being publicised. It's great to see that two completely independent lines of inquiry come to the same result. For the record, Gonetoplaid discovered the Apollo 12 site before I did, and as far as I am aware I found Apollo 14 first:
2010 post on Apollo 14 LM: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...=6513&st=60 2013 post on Apollo 14 LM: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...6192&st=120 (but I am happy to be corrected on that if necessary). I am looking at something at the Apollo 17 site now but it is a more difficult case because of limitations in the available images. (EDIT: no, that object was visible in Apollo images, so that's not it...) Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
