Kaguya-012-20071128_kaguya_tc02_03_l.jpgDyson Crater (1)72 visiteCaption JAXA:"The Terrain Camera (TC) can observe the Moon surface during the day-time of the Moon using 2 cameras that respectively face the slightly diagonal forelooking and afterlooking of the satellite. It can take 3-D (stereo) images of the Moon's globe with a world's first Super High Definition (SHD) of 10 meters.
3-D terrain images acquired by TC HighRes Stereo-Pair Cameras are important data to study the evolution process of the Moon's unique terrain.
With detailed investigation of the crater distribution, we can estimate more precisely when each area of the Moon has been formed and can study more details of when the Moon was born and how its inside and surface have been changing.

Furthermore, data acquired by the TC is expected to be useful for studying topographical characteristics and illumination map to determine the best location for a future Moon base and to consider manned activities on the Moon".
