RE: Capturing Footprints in the Dust
Permalink  
 


I am just talking off the top of my head here, so I maybe totally wrong about the whole thing...

5 metre resolution is not really enough to show much. We still do not have NASA-released images that are good enough to show the landing craft, do we? Maybe I have missed these?

I have seen some raised objects casting shadows in the sunlight, but it seems that for all the millions spent we are still not allowed to have the benefit of the military technology that has been aboard the spacecraft since the Apollo missions. I am sure they have better than they are showing us.

I have also seen pictures containing tracks where the lunar rovers have driven around, but if we can see the tracks, why can't we see the rovers and landers themselves I wonder? How wide is a track or 'road' that the rovers make.... 3 metres wide perhaps. People naturally stick to the same path if they are going from A to B more than once and if they are only making one set of tracks, then the individual tyre tracks are perhaps 10 - 15 inches each? What kind of resolution are we seeing in the pictures that show these tracks I wonder?

so... we can see details this small ? A footprint is about 0.3 metre. I think each pixel would have to be 5cm or less to be able to get this amount of detail.

Some hope I am afraid.... although it would be good if we get to see images at this resolution from the LRO. The Indians are good at dropping NASA in the brown stuff (forcing them to admit to water on the moon etc)

While reading a link from another post, I came across this interesting statement from (I assume) a lunar scientist.

I have bolded the relevant part below.

link here

Mr. Chauhan, who is presently attached to the Space Applications Centre at Ahmedabad, said.
.....
“Chandrayaan’s images serve as an independent corroboration that can help dispel doubts about the NASA mission,” he said. However, he admitted that while Chandrayaan-1’s low resolution camera was not equipped to capture images of the footprints left behind by first astronauts on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, a lunar reconnaissance orbiter equipped with a high resolution camera launched by NASA could capture the images in the near future.
