Total posts from Spacecraft Impact 28 Search Making an Impact on History LROC NAC image (M153014430L) of the Ranger 7 impact crater (bright crater near top center) in Mare Cognitum located at 339.323°E, 10.634°S. The crater is 14 meters in diameter; image width is 400 m. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 07 Nov 2013 Dark Ejecta A 78 m diameter crater with distinct dark ejecta surrounding the crater rim. The crater formed in the highlands (31.131°S, 147.536°E) north of the crater Jules Verne, LRO NAC frame M1115555142L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 31 Oct 2013 LROC Coordinates of Robotic Spacecraft - 2013 Update Luna 17, the spacecraft that carried the Lunokhod 1 rover to the surface. You can make out the rover tracks around the lander. LROC NAC image M175502049RE [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 24 Sep 2013 Impact! The twin GRAIL spacecraft impacted the Moon on 17 December 2012, LROC was able to image the impact craters on 28 February 2013 showing them both to be about 5 meters in diameter. Upper panels show the area before the impact; lower panels after the impact. Arrows point to crater locations [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 18 Mar 2013 Ebb and Flow Finale The two GRAIL spacecraft, Ebb and Flow, as imaged by the LROC NAC in lunar orbit at different times (A on 7th October, B on 8th October 2012) [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Published on 17 Jul 2012 Sunset Over Giordano Bruno Slump terrace in the northern half of Giordano Bruno crater seen at sunset, from an altitude of 54 km. Terrace is 4800 meters wide, NAC M165190579LR [NASA/GSFC/ Arizona State University]. Published on 06 Jul 2012 Rim Impact The small pond of impact melt and debris on the floor of Hercules E is not circular. What forces teamed up to result in this small triangular crater floor deposit? NAC M170300291R, image width 500 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 06 Jun 2012 Crash or Coincidence? An odd-looking impact feature raises an intriguing, Apollo-era trivia question (3.02°N, 119.15°E). NAC image number M141485413; incidence angle 12°; Sun is from the east; north is up; image is ~600 meters across [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
