SMART-1 is approaching its operational orbit. ESA has released some images of the Moon on this page:

I completely agree with ugordan on this point. First, in that press release, the purpose is just to illustrate two contrasting terrains. Nothing wrong with that.
And second, there's no actual obligation for scientists to release data as it accumulates. We are spoiled by the daily release from MER and Cassini - and it appears the Cassini daily release was only accepted reluctantly - but frankly we are lucky to have it. A year or so after the end of the mission was generally how it worked for years, and in other disciplines data are often never released for free distribution. I enjoy, and use, the daily releases and really appreciate them, but they aren't a right. All SMART-1 images will be available eventually. Be patient!

SMART images are blurried and in fact can be greatly improved through accurate sharpening; herebelow you'll find last releases reprocessed:
Hey, consider that resolution in m/pixel is always worse than Hubble's moon pictures !. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
