That's extraordinary. Did they really actually build a 3-D model, or unroll a long picture of it, or what?

Not sure, but iirc it was a 2D image cleverly shaded to look like a 3D model.

This thread seems generic enough that I can post this here. A map I made of Lunokhod 2's route based on a Soviet era map (Courtesy Jeanna Rodionova)
The route will be corrected now we have LROC images , but it's not too bad. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

That's in the "Stooke Book" isn't it? I have mine stashed away right now.

A version of it! I posted it here to follow up on a discussion in another thread about planetary rovers.

Thanks so much Phil,
I was missing Lunakhod 1 data and relied on this image to set up the figure in the other thread about planetary rovers...I'll see you there (http://www.planetology.ru/panoramas/images/big/lunokhod1_c/lunokhod1_l_17_with_map.jpg) -------------------- |

Just compared your new map with the Big Stooke Book.... I see you have been improving your Russian, Phil, as well as refining the track from LRO!

There are many Surveyor panoramas further up this thread... I have just been advised that a project to scan all 85000 or so Surveyor images (from photo negatives) has been funded, and the entire dataset will be available on the web eventually. Not sure of the timeline.

Nice! Photo negatives are quite good, I'm sure we are in for some nice images.

Yes - the set I saw at LPI in Houston were not very well cared for and might have scratches, but the new work is being done at LPL in Tucson (I think) and maybe their set is better.
There is a lot of new work that could be done with these images. One thing would be to make panoramas or partial pans with different lighting conditions. Another would be full documentation of robotic arm activities, including animations, for the two missions with arms (3 and 7). I hope we will get a decent interface to provide access, and also that people will find them interesting enough to play with.

someone on NASAspaceflight posted this nice video of the TV coverage of the landing of Surveyor 1.
imaging starts around minute 26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqLtNzB_S18 |

I've started playing around with the Mariner 10 data set. Although I'm really hoping to dig into the Venus data, I wanted to take a look at the check-out images taken while it was still in orbit around the Earth. I really like this view of the Moon, with Mare Moscoviense front and center:
I had fun imagining this part of the Moon facing Earth - I wonder if the Moscoviense basin rings would be large enough for a person standing on Earth to see with the naked eye! Some processing notes: I mostly used the frames from the A camera, which were a little sharper than those of the B camera. Unfortunately, there was a large gap in coverage on the limb from the A camera images, which forced me to resort to using a B camera image (and wouldn't you know it, it's the most blurred of the bunch!). Photoshop's motion blur removal tool seemed sufficient to fix the worst of it, and I've also applied a slight sharpening filter to the finished mosaic and a half pixel gaussian filter to reduce a bit of marbling that the sharpening created. |

Very nice! And I think you may be right about those big basin rings being visible from Earth without a telescope, if they faced us. It looks feasible.

Jason Davis of the Planetary Society told me there should be an update on the Surveyor Digitization Project in a week or two. Looking forward to that!
