It will be released, and it will take some years. Meanwhile, the most complete DEM for the moon is here:

http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1367/dems/Images_16B/


- the zipped files. They are signed 16-bit TIFFs, which means they include negative values as well as positive. They can't be opened properly by Photoshop because of the negative values, but other software which can use signed TIFFs could use them. I have more information if someone needs it, but right now I'm not set up to deal with the files. If someone can convert these files to unsigned TIFFs I'd be very pleased!

I got your notes on handling that - I've been flat out HRSC Dem'ing - but I'll have a look at these over the w'end

Thanks Phil for your reply! smile.gif

These files do sound interesting! I'd be willing to have a closer look, so you may throw the further info at me. I have to admit I'm by no means an expert like many of you around here esp. in respect to image processing, though I am open to learn more about it. So how would I go to convert these files to unsigned TIFF's?

*Edit* Just spotted Doug's reply, so my offer is probably obsolete.

I've just found I can open the file in OpenEV-FW. The fix is to add 9000 to every pixel value, which changes the range from (-8000 to 8000) to (1000 to 17000). There are tools in it to allow you do this, but I haven't figured out the method yet. However, I have to say, alas, that the quick look at the file in OpenEV-FW does not look very promising - still not very high quality for detailed visualizations. But there are some high resolution regional DEM datasets I'll give links to later - polar regions and Apollo groundtracks.

Phil, these are the ones I've been playing around with in the past. *EDIT* Removed rest of post since getting too off-topic.

Some new HDTV images at:

http://wms.selene.jaxa.jp/index_e.html

The North Orientale one is especially good.

There are some good Kaguya abstracts at LPSC this yrear as well.

I made a couple of contacts with Kaguya HD related people at LPSC, and have the opportunity to ask some questions. I thought I'd see if anyone here had some suggestions for questions other than when or if the full-res video will ever be released to the Internet...

Hm... Is there any chance Kaguya did some Earthgazing at the time of the last lunar eclipse? If not, are there any plans for doing so in the (pretty distant) future?

Oh, and... When will HDTV movies of Earth rise/set be made available on the Internet? biggrin.gif

How about pure bribery. I'd pay for a Blu-Ray disc full of it. Is that an option for the future? Is the camera excluded from the pds-style release of the rest of the instruments on board?

Did they get any film footage of the Sub Sats?

What's the pipeline for the instrument - does it record and compress a movie onboard, and then it's transmitted as a single product - or are they streamed in real time? Are they a 25fps movie, or are they slower, but presented ''sped up"?

Was the vehicle in survival mode during the recent eclipse, or did they manage to use the camera during it?

HDTV can be used for educational purposes (which covers a lot of things) - the NHK representative handed out contact information and terms of use. I'll give details when I'm home.

Some pretty neat movies from SELENE can be found presently on the BBC News Website. Guess they've been there for a while, and I'm just catching up smile.gif These are pretty decent resolution compared with some I can see on YouTube.

Kaguya Footage Coming to Blu-ray

Pony Canyon has announced that they will release 'Kaguya Tsuki Sekai Hiko' for Blu-ray in Japan on June 18th, a full month before the DVD release. This disc will feature 17 minutes of high definition footage of the Moon and Earthrise as shot by NHK and JAXA's Kaguya probe. The footage has been set to classical music, and will give viewers a never before seen look at our closest celestial neighbor. No technical specs have been announced for the release at this time. It was originally planned for HD DVD release, but with the death of that format, those plans have been canceled.

The Apollo 11 site:

The actual Apollo 11 site is a brighter patch... interesting. Apollo 15-17 pan cameras also saw this at their sites.

smile.gif ...I was actually just preparing to ask you to show the precise location of the site, Phil; thanks!

Descent stage exhaust? (Best guess...)
