Thanks Phil and Shan once again great work. Love how new doors open!

This might the MIP's impact area.And this is just to the right of the area marked in the circle

@Phil sent you a mail on the same..The impact had dark patches might be due to the fuel in the solid rocket propellant motor or in it's spin thrusters but I am still skeptical.. (It may be very well a shadow too)

Great collaboration, finally it is out.

Thanks. I had discussed the post above with Shan privately. It is a bit off the trajectory and I don't think it is right. The best bet now will be to get a Chandrayaan 2 high resolution camera image of the area. It's too bad there was no pre-MIP image to compare it with.

Amazing work by everyone here! Just saw the LPSC poster and it looks great. Now if only Chandrayaan-2's OHRC can deliver some well illuminated terrain pics, we'll be all set.

Thanks Astrol_Neel! All credit goes to Phil for those posters! He has done a fantastic job

We are having lot of discussions over email on the probable location of MIP and the white dot in the below pic might be very well debris of the MIP but we cant say anything about it right now (This white dot is so reflective even when the image is set a low darkness and it might not be a boulder definitely)

Not sure whether MIP's debris would have been still there even after the impact and as far as the details I know MIP was made of honeycomb structure with Aluminum plates bolted on to it sides which can very well withstand lot of impact stress (Not sure how much but definitely it might have been a factor).It was spinning at a rate of 82 RPM and impact velocity might have been around 1682 m/s.. my doubts are around this as spinning object might not have the same impact as the object that is not spinning (Magnus effect).. if MIP had a backspin with respect to the SouthPole it might have slowed due a little bit before the impact.. Moon has scant atmosphere so nothing cant be ruled out..

Only OHRC images can clarify further on this topic..there are lot of images of the particular area so combing through all those..
