71-moon_northpole 1.jpgThe Lunar North Pole (1)61 visiteUna bellissima coppia di immagini ad Alta Risoluzione dell'area Nord Polare della Luna, alla ricerca - ancora una volta - dei "Picchi della Luce Eterna" (anche se poi, come già avemmo occasione di dire in passato) si dovrebbe trattare non di picchi (nel senso di porzioni superiori di montagne appuntite), bensì di altopiani.
Comunque sia, queste Regioni della "Luce Eterna" esistono, sappiamo dove sono e, forse, costituiranno davvero un punto di partenza verso la costituzione di un avamposto Lunare permanente.
Staremo a vedere...Set 08, 2006

This view was captured during the imaging session which took place bewteen 15:19 and 17:34 CEST (17:19 - 19:34 UT)".Set 08, 2006

52-ST_image_23-08-06_10_42UTC_H.jpg"Satellite Craters"59 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This image of the Lunar Surface was taken on 23 August at 12:42 CEST (10:42 UT), by the star tracker (attitude camera) on board ESA’s SMART-1, from a distance of 165 Km above the Moon Surface. SMART-1 was travelling at a speed of 1,93 Km/sec.
The two craters visible on the image are 'satellite' craters to the Neumayer Crater. Satellite craters are identified by the name of their parent crater and an additional letter.
On the star tracker image the crater with the sharp rim is called Neumayer "M" (located at a Latitude of 71,6° South and a Longitude of 78,5° East) and the one with the smooth rim is called Neumayer "N" (at a Latitude of 70,4° South and a Longitude of 78,7° East).
The image is slightly smeared as the spacecraft is moving at high speed and at low altitude. This image was taken as a test, which means the spacecraft pointing was not optimised for taking images with the star tracker".Set 08, 2006

51-Smart-1_25_August_0815UTC_H.jpgGoing Down53 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This image of the Lunar Surface was taken on 25 August at 10:08 CEST (08:15 UT) by the star tracker (attitude camera) on board ESA’s SMART-1, from a distance of 59 Km above the Moon Surface. The spacecraft was travelling at a speed of 2 Km/sec.
The image is slightly smeared as the spacecraft is moving at high speed and at low altitude. This image was taken as a test, meaning that the spacecraft pointing was not optimised for star tracker imaging.
The Moon features on the photo still have to be identified".Set 08, 2006
