Did I ever post this one? I don't think so. It shows what a full resolution Surveyor pan would look like. This is the northern horizon seen from Surveyor 7. This was assembled from individual frames scanned from hardcopy at LPI.

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Mar 9 2007, 01:22 PM)  Did I ever post this one? I don't think so. It shows what a full resolution Surveyor pan would look like. This is the northern horizon seen from Surveyor 7. This was assembled from individual frames scanned from hardcopy at LPI. I seem to recall that you had posted a portion of a Surveyor VII pan that you had cleaned up. You may not have posted this one, though. Emily, I don't think it's really a crater rim we're looking at in the distance -- the entire terrain is really pretty chaotic, and I think these are really ridges that are arrayed radially to Tycho. However, as chaotic as this terrain is, I'm struck by how *soft* most of the terrain really is. There are a lot of locations in this panorama alone that would be quite suitably flat landing sites for a LM (or some other type of landing module), and the local slopes aren't, for the most part, any greater than what the J-mission Apollo crews worked on with relatively little difficulty. I wish they had actually tried a J mission to this location. Would have been the most spectacular site ever! -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
