I heard Chandryaan 1 is going to track the KAGUYA impact at 1830 hrs (UTC). I'm not sure if they will share the results or pass it on to JAXA but hopefully they will put it up online. They're pretty happy to let JAXA put it up on their website - since it was their mission.
Anyway, this crash also means that India will be the only country in orbit around the Moon over the next few days.  Pradeep -------------------- Pradeep Mohandas,

This map follows the various predictions of the Kaguya impact point, ending with the current prediction. The ESA map is for a previous prediction.

In honor of the Kaguya impact today, here is Japan's first lunar impact, using optical navigation images from Hiten (it is only colorized, the camera was 4-bit black and white).

Ted - very nice!
Pradeep - we should perhaps qualify your comment - the only country with an operating spacecraft at the Moon now. Japan's Ouna (Vstar) subsatellite is still orbiting. And actually so is Luna 10, the first spacecraft ever put into lunar orbit, but high enough that it's thought to be in orbit still. There was an article in - I think - Air and Space - a few years ago which identified four older orbiters thought to be still in orbit - must try to find it!... Explorer 49 might have been one of the others. Hagoromo, Japan's first orbiter, is another. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

The ESA report - nice to see those SMART-1 images - is not an update but a downdate... it uses the May 29 predicted location.

QUOTE (djellison @ Jun 10 2009, 12:33 PM) BANG Some news confusión: SMART-1 Maps Kaguya Lunar Impact Location The Japanese lunar orbiter Kaguya has completed a productive operational phase and will conclude its scientific mission with a controlled impact on the lunar surface, scheduled for 20:30 CEST today. Still not yet a bang! |
