Thank you, Bhas; that link worked perfectly!
 Congratulations on this achievement!

Was that movie from the impactor? Or from the orbiter?

I asked Spudis if he had any idea what the scale on the two MIP images was. He said that without knowing the frame numbers he couldn't be sure, but he hazarded a guess that the two released ones were taken between 80 and 85 degrees south latitude, which would put their widths at something between 4 and 12 kilometers, probably closer to the former.

Are the only two shown pictures from MIP covers its impact zone? The MIP's impact site is outside of initially intended: Malapert Mountain at around 120 km north of Shackleton crater. The latest news says that MIP had impacted close to Shackleton crater with 19 km diameter.
At the bottom line, I am still looking forward in knowing where is Chandrayaan I. Corrected. |

I am considering a possible image ID: the frame showing a crater rim (VIS-2936) may be at 353 east, 83.8 south. Not certain yet. At 30 km/degree, that's about 180 km north of Shackleton.

Ted, the base is Clementine UVVIS from Map-A-Planet.

This is a comparison I made for another forum, it may not be scientificaly correct, but it shows the difference between Clementine and Chandrayaan 1's photos.
Clementine versus Chandrayaan 1 According to some measurements I made, this photo (the Chandrayaan 1 photo) has a resolution of around 23 metres per pixel, but I may be wrong, can someone confirm or show the real value? |

Memo to ISRO and the Chandrayaan mission: the great outpouring of interest and support you received over the last few weeks will disappear very rapidly if you don't stoke it with frequent news and image releases. Don't repeat China's mistake.

QUOTE (djellison @ Nov 16 2008, 07:53 PM) 5m/pixel isn't going to do anything amazing for surface hardware, except with long shadows. We've got 50cm/pixel coming next year anyway. Doug which mission?
