Apollo 11 Lunar landing - 40th aniversary
FWIW, the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter has photographed several of the Apollo
sites from about 150 kilometers--later it will reshoot them from 50 or so. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LR...ollosites.html Note that LRO is using an f/3.59 700mm mirror lens and a 5000 pixel panchromatic linear array and is working as a scanning camera--when it has reached its design altitude each pixel will be about half a meter (or about a foot and a half to us Americans). |
