Default History Channel: Apollo: The Race Against Time

Dear gutless (no archive) "rk",
Good Christ Almighty; yet another terrific notion of getting
something/anything of any sorts situated upon the moon. However lo and
behold, at least Allan Cole and a few others know for a matter of fact
that we still can't seem to get squat deployed upon the moon unless
it's been engineered as capable of surviving a rather nasty impact as
having been planned upon more than a decade ago by the LUNAR-A mission
that's still on hold.

Speaking about NASA/Apollo (our ultimate intellectual space-toilet of
infomercials and disinformation-R-us crapolla), and of their continuing
utter lack of having an independent shred worth of hard-science or that
of any other believable evidence that's about as MOS infomercialism as
it gets.

"AMIE obtained this image from an altitude of about 2000 kilometres. It
covers an area of about 100 kilometres and shows the region around
Hadley Rille centred at approximately 25=B0 North and 3=B0 East."
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/SMART-1/SEMB7A808BE_0.html
"The rille begins at the curved gash on the left side of this image,
and is seen clearest in the rectangular, mare-floored valley in the
centre of the image. It is over 120 kilometres long, and up to 1500
metres across and over 300 metres deep in places."
"The camera itself has a medium field of view of 5.3 degrees by 5.3
degrees and provides a high-resolution image at 27 metres per pixel
from an altitude of 300 kilometres. The image measures 1024 x 1024
pixels. Data from the micro-imager are read and stored in the AMIE
electronics, where they can be downloaded as required from the
spacecraft."

Unfortunately, as for such having been obtained from 2000 km isn't
worth diddly squat compared to the 100 km advantage of the Apollo CM
orbit and further boosted by way of using their 10X telephoto lens for
a full frame magnification of roughly 38,400:1 as compared to imaging
the same from Earth using their 1:1 lens.

The SMART-1/AMIE camera absolutely somewhat sucks at 180 m/pixel as
compared to Kodak film and quality optics as utilized from the distance
of 100 km, having been recorded upon essentially high resolution B&W
(8192 x 8192 or 164 lpmm) format of film that I believe is worth
something better than 1.8 m/pixel, and worth 256 bits per pixel at
that. Still there's no sign of anything Apollo, unless somewhat recent
impact craters are all that's showing us the truth.

Thus even if SMART-1 were to cruise to within 300 km and obtain it's
somewhat bit-limited worth of 27 m/pixel isn't going to become worth
even a tenth as good of what's already on file, and even that's of
what's 35+ years old at that.

Too bad we can't manage to orbit something of a 100X optical that's
getting onto a 2.2 micron/pixel CCD populated chip of 10x10 mm, and of
accomplishing this robotic task at just 10 km off the deck, obviously
better than having to make due with the Mars Express imaging resolution
as having been obtained from 260+km that's actually limited to 7 micron
pixels that's clearly out dated by the latest CCD and a 200X lens or
mirror standard that should be able to beat that resolution at perhaps
obtaining something less than 150 mm of at least 16 bits/pixel,
although flying 10 km off the deck makes that worth 15 mm/pixel.

ngid=3D1597
Without applied PhotoShop "correspond to 2.3 metre square pixels
on-ground for a spacecraft altitude of 250 km."

As is, their 2.4 km x 2.4 km per frame as obtained from 250 km would
become 0.96 x 0.96 km per frame if utilized at 100 km off the lunar
surface, that's a raw 938 mm/pixel if there were no improvements in
lens or CCD applied.

Since we're only going for the moon, the 972 mm Matsukov-Cassegrain
telescope could be replaced with a 2000 mm and the CCD replaced with
the 2.2 micron/pixel, thus another 6.547 fold improvement would get
that resolution as obtained from 100 km down to 143.3 mm/pixel, then a
good application of PhotoShop shouldn't have any problem with creating
a believable 16 mm/pixel. Cut the orbit down to 10 km off the deck and
I believer we're into reading serial numbers off those supposed lander
remains, those items of our grand old cloak and dagger cold-war days of
disinformation-R-us and of spookology of utilizing all sorts of smoke
and mirrors on steroids, of which as far as I can tell still isn't over
until the fat lady sings.

Of course somewhat harsh spectrum cut-off and/or band-pass filtering
could be utilized, just in case the camera caught a look-see above the
horizon, thus the horrifically bright (near-blue & near-UV) worth of
the Sirius star system and otherwise nearly blindingly bright likes of
Venus could be diminished and/or later PhotoShop removed so that
there'd still be none of those stinking stars or that of a nearby Venus
by which anyone could actually figure out if the moon imaging was real
or not. We also wouldn't want to ever get a look-see at having Earth
above the fully solar illuminated but otherwise extremely dark lunar
surface that's showing us a somewhat reddish tint of a nearly coal dark
golden lunar hew instead of the composite of cornmeal and portland
cement and/or of a somewhat pumice like spectrum worth of gray tones as
to what the Apollo/EVA obtained images recorded (whatever you do, don't
look at anything of "moonpans" near white-out zones of lunar terrain).
