Z-108-The_Moon-OresmeCrater.jpgOresme Crater60 visiteCaption ESA:"This image mosaic was obtained by the AMIE camera onboard the SMART-1 spacecraft. The most prominent feature is the 76 Km crater Oresme that originated in the Nectarian age.
It is located on the Far-Side of the Moon, across the North-Western part of the Lunar South Pole-Aitken Giant Impact Basin".MareKromium

42-CuvierC-AMI_EAE3_002085_L,1.jpgCuvier "C"58 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This high-resolution image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA’s SMART-1 spacecraft, shows the young crater ‘Cuvier C’ on the Moon.
AMIE obtained this sequence on 18 March 2006 from a distance of 591 Km from the surface, with a ground resolution of 53 mt per pixel. The imaged area is centred at a Latitude of 50,1º South and a Longitude of 11,2º East, with a field of view of 27 Km. The North is on the right of the image.
Cuvier "C", a crater about 10 Km across, is visible in the lower right part of the image. Cuvier "C" is located at the edge of the larger old crater Cuvier, a crater 77 Km in diameter. The upper left quadrant of the image contains the smooth floor of Cuvier, only one fourth of which is visible in this image".

51-Smart-1_25_August_0815UTC_H.jpgGoing Down58 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This image of the Lunar Surface was taken on 25 August at 10:08 CEST (08:15 UT) by the star tracker (attitude camera) on board ESA’s SMART-1, from a distance of 59 Km above the Moon Surface. The spacecraft was travelling at a speed of 2 Km/sec.
The image is slightly smeared as the spacecraft is moving at high speed and at low altitude. This image was taken as a test, meaning that the spacecraft pointing was not optimised for star tracker imaging.
The Moon features on the photo still have to be identified".

61-smart-1_data1002887_030_H.jpgDouble Crater58 visiteCaption ESA originale:"This beautiful oblique view was taken on 2 September 2006 by the AMIE camera on board SMART-1 during the last few orbits prior to Moon impact, and shows a double crater.
This view was captured during the imaging session which took place bewteen 15:19 and 17:34 CEST (17:19 - 19:34 UT)".

Z-099-Lunar Impact-SMART-1.jpgThe Impact Sequence58 visiteCaption ESA originale:"Analysis of images obtained at the CFHT by Christian Veillet have revealed a plume of debris thrown up when SMART-1 impacted the Lunar Surface.
The observations were made with the WIRCam wide-field infrared camera with 10s exposure time through an H2 narrow-band filter at 2122 nanometers with a 32 nanometers bandwidth.
Each image is approximately 2'x 2', equating to 200x200 Km".

90-August Moon.jpgThe "Impact Site" of SMART-157 visiteCaption ESA originale:"Reconnaissance view of the Moon on 20 August 2006 at 00:00 UT.
The Lunar North Pole is up.
The SMART-1 impact is expected on 3 September 2006 in the Lacus Excellentiae Region, at the top of the U-shape feature situated North of the crater Clausius "B". The nominal impact position is marked by the red circle".

40-Jacobi Crater.jpgJacobi Crater (HR)57 visiteThis HR image was taken by the advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on 18 March 2006 from a distance of about 578 Km from the Moon's surface, with a ground resolution of 52 mt per pixel. It shows part of crater Jacobi in the Moon's Southern Hemisphere. The western crater rim can be seen on the left edge of the image. The imaged area is centred at a Latitude of 56,5° South and a Longitude of 10,9° East, with a field of view of 27 Km. North is up.
Crater Jacobi itself is much larger than this image - 68 Km in diameter - with the imaged area only showing about 1/5th of the crater floor area. The crater is centred at a Latitude of 56,7° South and a Longitude of 11,4° East. The single prominent crater to the upper left of the image centre is Jacobi "W", with a diameter of only 7 Km.
Peculiar surface structure can be seen in the lower left part of the image, and indicates several heavily eroded big-sized craters.
SMART-1 resolution at high solar elevation angle allows for the detection of eroded structures buried under more recent layers, giving a window on the past evolution of the Moon.
The crater is named after the German mathematician Karl Gustav Jacob Jacobi (1804 - 1851), who worked on elliptic functions and was active in the field of celestial mechanics

Z-111-The_Moon-CraterPentland.jpgIn the vicinities of Crater Pentland (HR)57 visiteCaption ESA:"This HR image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA’s SMART-1 spacecraft, shows an area close to crater Pentland on the Moon.
AMIE obtained this sequence on 18 March 2006 from a distance of 573 Km from the surface, with a ground resolution of 52 mt per pixel. The imaged area is centred at a Latitude of 67,7º South and a Longitude of 18,3º East". MareKromium
