ra9_p006.jpgThe Moon from Ranger-9: Alphonsus Crater (8)54 visiteCaption NASA:"These four images of the floor of Alphonsus Crater were taken on 24 March 1965 about 5 seconds before Ranger 9 impacted on the Surface.
The pictures were taken by the four P-series cameras, and are (clockwise from upper left) P3, P4, P2, P1. The P3 image was taken from 14.3 km and is about 1.6 km across. The P4 image is 1,5 Km across, taken at a distance of 13,1 Km. P2, taken from 13,6 Km, is 540 meters across and P1, from 14,7 Km, is 580 mt.

ra9_p012.jpgThe Moon from Ranger-9: Alphonsus Crater (9)54 visiteCaption NASA:"This image shows the last two pictures taken by Ranger 9 before impact onto the Lunar Surface. The images show the floor of Alphonsus Crater at 12,84° South Lat. and 2,39 West Long.
North is at 1:00 in both images. The top image was taken by camera P3 at a distance of 600 mt just 0,25" before impact. The frame is about 70 mt across. The lower frame is from camera P1. It includes most of the area on the left of the P3 frame and was taken from 1,2 Km, 4,5" prior to impact.
The image is approximately 50 mt across.
Part of the P3 frame is missing because Ranger 9 did not finish transmitting before impact. These were the last images from the Ranger programme, which ended with this mission (Ranger 9, P012)".MareKromium
