#ohrc — Public Fediverse posts

... I show the new thing: the LEV-1 hopping rover for SLIM, rover turning marks at Chandrayaan 3, a row of bounce pits for Chandrayaan 2, the remarkable footpad gouges at IM-2 Athena's site. I point out that the new imaging service from Firefly, Ocula, will equal this and we need to get those images into PDS. Later I will give a link to the full size poster.

Slight change of plan - tomorrow the lunar site selection begins. Today, a preview of my LPSC poster. I compare LROC-NAC and OHRC images of some landing sites - OHRC has 4x the resolution of typical LROC-NAC images at the moment. At first NAC had a resolution of 50 cm/pixel from 50 km but now it is at 100 km the resolution is about 1 m/pixel, worse at slant range very near the pole. So OHRC gives more detail, and where it shows something significant...

You can see the LRO images (before and after) at the link in the previous post. What did OHRC show us? Here is the image. The impact feature is the double crater exactly in the middle of this tiny detail of a very large image. Comparison shows it is more detailed than the LRO image. I wouldn't say it changes our understanding, but it's nice to see it.

I ran out of landers, but I will look at a few upcoming landings next.

In 2022 an object was found on course to hit the Moon. LRO imaged the crater it made:

It was almost certainly the upper stage of the rocket used to launch Chang'e 5 T-1. Chang'e 5 was China's first sample return mission, but Chang'e 5 T-1 was a flight to test the return capsule in 2014. LRO images showed a double crater, suggesting it had a mass at both ends (engines and a payload support structure, presumably).

I have been extolling the virtues of India's Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) instrument on Chandrayaan 2, so I had the idea of looking to see if any other lander or crash sites might be found. There are surprisingly few images by this camera considering it has been in orbit for 6 years. The map-based image search tool linked to yesterday showed only one I thought might be a candidate, on the far side in the Hertzsprung basin, What is it?

Intuitive Machines have not yet released their analysis of the landing, but this OHRC image has to be a major contribution to that analysis. I have never seen anything like this before but we don't have images like this for most landings. It would be great to have this for Luna 23, for instance, and Surveyors 3 and 5 and many crash sites.

You can look for OHRC images here - you need to register.

LRO imaged the Athena landing site:

but again the most impressive and informative images were taken by India's Chandrayaan 2 orbiter. Its Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) took an image and Indian space enthusiast Chandra Tungathurthi found it in the released data:

I made this map using the image and that Yaoki image, hinting at what happened during the final approach.

Wait, there's an Ontario Human Rights Commissioner?
I haven't heard anything out of that office since 2017.

Who Is Afraid of Caste Equity in Canada?

Anyone familiar with caste stigma and the violence endured by caste-oppressed Dalits and other minorities should have welcomed the Toronto school board's move. So why are some Indian-origin groups protesting?
