Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The Moon model is about 55 megabytes. The Japanese Space Agency JAXA generously gave me the elevation data. Thank you JAXA Selene Kaguya LALT Team (Lunar Altimeter Team). Your data format is easy to use:http://l2db.selene.darts.isas.jaxa.jp/help/en/LALT_Format_en_V01.pdf
This Thing fits next to Moon Section 70 South-A.
More is available , like Moon Section 50 South-A, next ! The Whole Moon is ready for you, if you care.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched "KAGUYA (SELENE)" by the H-IIA Launch Vehicle at 10:31:01 a.m. on September 14, 2007 (JST) from Tanegashima Space Center (TNSC). The major objectives of the "KAGUYA" mission are to obtain scientific data of the lunar origin and evolution and to develop the technology for the future lunar exploration. "KAGUYA" consists of a main orbiting satellite at about 100km altitude and two small satellites (Relay Satellite and VRAD Satellite) in polar orbit. The orbiters will carry instruments for scientific investigation of the Moon, on the Moon, and from the Moon.
KAGUYA was descended to the 50km altitude from February 1, 2009 and then was descended again to 10-30km in Lower altitude (Perilune) from April 16, 2009. Finally, KAGUYA was impacted to the south-east of near side of the Moon on June 10, 2009 (GMT).
