QUOTE (djellison @ Jun 20 2009, 11:16 PM)  Not a chance. Hubble, for example, has a resolution on the moon of about 60m/pixel. A Kaguya like impact would make a crater perhaps half the size, with an ejecta perhaps of one pixel, maybe two. Certainly indistinguishable from normal Lunar gardening without a similar 'before' image to compare it to. LRO will go hunting for it - I'm sure. Optimistic John |

QUOTE (FordPrefect @ Jun 14 2009, 12:53 PM) Just a remark: On the day after the impact, it was stated on the mission's homepage that the scientific data will be released to the public on 1st of November this year. It was mentioned right after the call for any observer who was able to capture the impact to send in the imagery for being put up on the website soon. For the life of me, I seem unable to dig out that particular article again. Anyways, I marked November 1st on my calendar. I can't wait to play around with the global elevation data... Not sure if you found it already, but if you look at:http://www.jaxa.jp/topics/2009/06_e.html down under the June 11th update you will see some words to that effect and a link to this press release: http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2009/06/20090611_kaguya_e.html --Darin |

Just exchanged emails with Shin-ichi Sobue from JAXA -- I inquired whether they were on schedule for their planned public data release. He said:
QUOTE About data release, we still plan to open L2 products (processed data) to public via Internet on November 1st or 2nd. We will announce it as press release before opening data to public. Keep your eye peeled!

While we're waiting for the data release, we can watch some nice fly-along movies taken by the HDTV. Fifteen new ones have been posted on the Jaxa channel on YouTube.

An interesting paper in the open access journal "Recent Patents on Space Technology"
The Result of SELENE (KAGUYA) Development and Operation -------------------- I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.
