Chandrayaan-I detects ice deposits on moon - March 02, 2010 08:16 IST
http://news.rediff.com/report/2010/mar/02/...its-on-moon.htmScientists have detected more than 40 ice-filled craters in the moon's North Pole using data from a NASA radar that flew aboard India's Chandrayaan-I.
NASA's Mini-SAR instrument, lightweight, synthetic aperture radar, found more than 40 small craters with water ice. The craters range in size from 2 to 15 km in diameter.
The finding would give future missions a new target to further explore and exploit, a NASA statement said, adding it is estimated that there could be at least 600 million metric tons of water ice in the craters.
"The emerging picture from the multiple measurements and resulting data of the instruments on lunar missions indicates that water creation, migration, deposition and retention are occurring on the moon," Paul Spudis, principal investigator of the Mini-SAR experiment at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, said yesterday

There might be a wee mathematical correction to be made to that number - just a few orders of magnitude. A bad metric conversion?

Mar 2 2010, 07:25 PM
FWIW, the 600 million metric ton figure was also mentioned by Paul Spudis in his presentation to the press yesterday afternoon. It's based on a one-to-one correspondence between locations with H measured by Lunar Prospector and locations of these ice-filled craters seen with Mini-SAR, and the assumption that there's at least 2 meters worth of nearly pure water ice in each of those craters.
Clearly one of the two numbers in the press release is wrong. Since Paul mentioned 600 million tons I think that is the right number.
Phil Stooke
Mar 3 2010, 12:47 AM
Yes indeed, the NASA press release contained a horrible metric conversion error, but it turns out it was the 600 million metric tons figure that was correct. The other figure in the release is the one that was wrong.

Ever since MIP impacted over 18 months ago I have been looking for a clear statement about where it hit the surface. Now I may have it at last (though I really want to see the last few images to confirm it).
This new paper:
Sridharan, R., Ahmed, S. M., Tirtha Pratim, D., Sreelatha, P., Pradeepkumar, P., Naik, N. and Gogulapati, S., 2010. The sunlit lunar atmosphere: A comprehensive study by CHACE on the Moon Impact Probe of Chandrayaan-1. Planet. Space Sci. (2010), doi:10.1016/j.pss.2010.07.027
says the MIP site is at c. 89 S, 30 W. It came down roughly along the 14 E meridian, but on a path that took it a bit west of the pole. This is earthward of the ridge connecting Shackleton and de Gerlache craters.

I have updated my Moon Landing Sites map to include the new location of MIP. Looking forward to the next thing I can mark on it... presumably Chang-e 2, either its end-of-mission impact which will probably be about the end of next year, or possibly a small lunar impactor it's reported to be carrying, if that report is correct. If so I assume that would occur this fall soon after the orbiter reaches the Moon.
This also includes a correction among the names thanks to a sharp-eyed person who emailed me. I always welcome corrections.

The entire swath is 304 x 28974 pixels (summation mode "global" so not the full resolution of the instrument) with 85 spectral channels returned. Starts over the night side, crossing the terminator, culminating over high sun terrain and ending when the phase angle began to increase.
The rows of hot pixels (the short wavelength channels are noisy) in the beginning inspired me for that particular soundtrack...

Thanks for the update, Pradeep !
do you have any information when the first data from the Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC) which I am particularly looking forward to
will be released ?
there is a preview of TMC data published at the ISRO site
(link) which looks
very very promising (the announced 5-meter-per-pixel near-global DEM would be by far the best topographic map of the moon yet with resolution two times higher than SELENE/KAGUYA DTM and more than ten times higher than LOLA DTM ...
Phil Stooke
Dec 12 2010, 05:32 PM
Don't get too carried away with the idea of a 5 m/pixel DTM. The spatial resolution of the stereo-derived DTM will really be equivalent to the spacing of tie points between the images used in the stereo model. That will be very good, but not as high as 5 m/pixel. Also, TM data are not global, and of course, no data in shadows. Still, it will be a very nice dataset.

I will post this here despite the fact that it refers to Chandrayaan 1 rather than Chandrayaan 2, because the C-1 thread had not been added to since 2012.
Over on the NASASpaceflight forum, user Astro-Neel posted this:
https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php...2673#msg1992673Astro-Neel posted some very useful video and other links, including one showing a descent video from MIP on Chandrayaan 1.
The descent frames cover the last few minutes of MIP's descent, from over Malapert crater to a final image near the south pole. Note that we don't know that the last frame shown is the last frame taken (or received). I had suggested that it might lead to an improved estimate of the MIP impact point. There are two published locations for the impact, the most authoritative being the one in ISRO's report to UNOOSA after the impact, which Astro-Neel also linked to later:
http://www.unoosa.org/documents/pdf/ser570E.pdf(note that the comment in that report about a name for the impact site being accepted by the IAU is not correct - it remains an informal name).
I have located the last image in the video (below). It is on the rim of a small crater about 7 by 10 km across, and about 1.5 km north of the UNOOSA impact coordinates. The shape of the image outline suggests it was taken slightly obliquely from a position north of the image center, not too far north but maybe over its northern edge. (NORTH is to the left, approximately).
Click to view attachmentThe second image (below) shows a predicted impact location. MIP may have struck the surface on the wall of that crater in ellipse 1, or it may have flown above that crater rim and hit the surface on the rim of the next crater in ellipse 2 on my image. If it passed over that crater rim it would have hit the earth-facing slope of the 'connecting ridge' between the rims of the two large craters (De Gerlache and Shackleton).

Thanks! Here is an image showing locations of some of the last frames:
Click to view attachmentWhen I compare this with the last image you posted showing a predicted impact point, my locations seem to run along the right edge of the image 'corridor' rather than its center. Those previous attempts to locate the last images were plotted on an Earth-based radar image (the other image base is from Clementine), and I am using LRO NAC images with at least 20 times the resolution (probably better than that), where images can be located with much better accuracy (I'm not talking about the base image in my post which is lower resolution). Note that the posted image says the circle is 1 km diameter, but it is actually 10 km (Shackleton is 20 km across).

Another thread or an old relevant one would be nice. I have matched frame 3102 with LRO NAC reference image... getting closer but need to keep in mind 49° off nadir angle of imaging. Here's

This is excellent. We are seeing that the impact point is further along the trajectory that the 'official' estimate in the UN document. It may be possible to find a plausible impact feature along this trajectory.

Sep 23 2019, 07:52 PM
Indeed if 3110 frames are captured and we are already out of previous 'corridor' then impact point could easily be within ellipse 2. I had to stop as I couldn't find more well lit NAC images near relevant area and I see few requests for LRO team are already there

Hello, Ohsin. I used this site:

http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO....0/M108986899REIt is flipped left to right because of the way the camera works.
And here is the location of 3105 - I have flipped the base. Compare with your 3104 map to see how they join.
3205 is right at the 'top' (in my image) of ellipse 2 in my earlier post. If there are still several more images the impact is likely to be at the other end of my ellipse 2.
Rough prediction: 89.61 South, 108.0 East

This map shows the recently located images. The impact should be somewhere near the 'bottom' end (on the image) of the large white ellipse, well up on the connecting ridge between Shackleton and De Gerlache. The coordinates supplied to the UN are clearly not correct. There is a real possibility of locating the impact site in LRO images.

Collection of few papers related to MIP.
https://archive.org/details/29p_20191209According to first paper, MIP camera had resolution of 70 meters at 100 km altitude. Second paper gives altitude and footprint for frames #2871 and #2874 and as we have matched frame 3105 its footprint can perhaps be used to have an idea on MIP altitude for it, viewing angle should be close to zero before impact. I am guessing it should be about 2.5 km.

This image summarizes what we can now say about the MIP impact site. I only show images which are available at present. I have been seeking more but without success. It is possible that MIP flew over the ridge where I suggest it crashed and struck another ridge (the 'Connecting Ridge') a moment later. The map in A shows a projection of the descent trajectory to the surface at about 89.63° S, 110.77° W, slightly over the mean limb on the farside. Alternatively MIP may have passed just above that ridge and struck the surface near 89.42° S, 134.00° W. The impact feature has not been identified.
The first Artemis landing may be in this area and it is entirely possible that the first visitors in this century will find debris from MIP on the surface. Of course, we don't speak of such things here. Oops, I just did. Maybe they will send a robotic precursor, in which case it's allowed.

I am revising my map of the MIP impact location based on topography and Ohsin's estimated altitude for the last image - see above. It looks to me as if the impact occurs at the location shown here, which is very close to (1 or 2 km from) the high point on the "Connecting Ridge" between Shackleton and De Gerlache craters. This is just about the most illuminated point on the moon and is one of the candidates for early robotic and human landings in the next few years. The map at left showing MIP image locations reveals the precession of the spinning probe during descent, as the images trace a sinuous path along the ground track. That's why the track in the map at right does not just follow the image footprint centroids. Obviously some further refinements are possible.

Shan! This is very interesting. I will use the numbering in the picture I showed earlier - the one with 4 MIP images, three of them labelled 3102, 3104 and 3105. Assuming those are correct, you have a new image that must follow 3105 - it might be 3106 or 3107 if the numbering from ISRO is correct. The one you post as 3103 is in fact the ISRO 3105 if you look carefully at the pattern of small craters. The one you post as 3104 is the same as the new one but with more artifacts.
The reason I say the new one is later than 3105 is that I have located it in the LRO image, exactly on the ground track of the MIP descent. It is about 2500 m south of the one ISRO calls 3105.
Are there any more images out there? The last is supposed to be 3109 or 3110.

We have got the last frame(3109) also but it's utter dark and the impact might be somewhere around here (It seems some of the images were lost it transmission)

The last frame has just a very small part of one corner illuminated, too little for it to be correlated with the LRO base image (so far). But it's enough to show the orientation from the way craters are shaded, so we know a bit about it. Significantly, there is only one place where a shadow large enough to contain that shaded image occurs, and it's about where the image sequence suggests it ought to be, so there really is no doubt where it should lie on the map. We had the image from S. M. Ahmed of the University of Hyderabad, but I'm not sure if I am free to post it here. Something is being written now and i will post more later.
