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. |

An earlier post (bottom of previous page) can now get an update. Jim Meador and I have been working on the problem of the Apollo 16 LM ascent stage. We have an LPSC abstract about it: https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2023/pdf/1025.pdf I think we have found the impact site. It is extremely subtle but I think it is right. The abstract shows the location. This image shows 6 LRO-NAC images of the feature: This is a merge of morning and afternoon illumination images, which suppress topographic shading and enhance albedo. The bright streaks and dark spots around the impact site are very similar to features seen at the Apollo 12 and 14 LM impact sites: Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
