More distant tracking: Lunar Orbiters
I've had a gratifying response to my request for additional
reports of telescopic tracking of the Apollo missions in' translunar coast.On a related topic, courtesy of Markus Mehring and Stave Larson, I can now bring the telescopic picture of Lunar Orbiter 5 into the googlable realm: http://www.astr.ua.edu/keel/space/lunorbiter.html Somehow most of these things seem to get done while I'm avoiding particularly tedoious graphics for some research paper or other.

An attempt to photograph it on January 18 failed. -- Save the Hubble Space Telescope! Remove spam and invalid from address to reply. |
