Kaguya-049-20090619_kaguya_hdtv_L7.jpgThe very final images taken by the HDTV (7)61 visitePicture taken at 03:17 a.m.

Relative Position: near De Gerlache Crater (about 32 Km dia.)

NASA said:"Japan's Kaguya Spacecraft crashed into the Moon last week (June, 11th, 2009), as planned.
Officially named the Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE), the spacecraft was given the nickname "Kaguya" after the princess in the Japanese folklore story "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".
Pictured above is the last frame taken by Kaguya during the last orbit of its 20-month Lunar Mission.

A desolate, hilly and cratered terrain passed underneath the Spacecraft as it barely cleared a few peaks. At the end of the descent, the Spacecraft disappeared into darkness near Gill Crater.
Robotic SELENE carried thirteen scientific instruments and two HDTV cameras. The groundbreaking mission took data on Lunar Topology and composition that are being used to better understand the origin and history of Earth's unique and ancient companion.
Data and images from Kaguya and the recently launched Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter could be used to choose good locations to land future Moon-exploring Astronauts".4 commentiMareKromium06/29/09 at 22:26alby56: Un po scuretta, non trovate?? Chi mi sa dire come ...
