Moon 10x Rev 2

thingiverse

The Lunar Globe now displays corrected data. The polar voids have been sealed, while the Eastern-Western axis inversion has been rectified, thanks to JAXA's invaluable LALT Team. Japan's database powers the presentation of the Moon. To put this model into perspective, note that the lunar elevations are grossly magnified by ten times their true size, yielding a precise map of 129,000 interconnected triangles within it, stored in an efficient 6 megabyte .stl file format. Laser Altimeter, commonly referred to as LALT, plays a crucial role on KAGUYA's orbiting main spacecraft. LALT functions by generating precise data sets through the deployment of a highly advanced laser range device positioned towards the surface of the Moon. The sheer breadth of LALT's scope allows for continuous measurements throughout the satellite's global polar trajectory. With these newfound insights, scientists are poised to build the most accurate, high-resolution lunar topographic map the world has ever seen. To Japan's Selene Kaguya LALT Team (Lunar Altimeter Team), our sincerest gratitude is expressed; JAXA, their remarkable efforts in providing easy-to-use data formatting can be accessed at this convenient location: http://l2db.selene.darts.isas.jaxa.jp/help/en/LALT_Format_en_V01.pdf Note that the data presented is sourced from an accessible file named LALT_GGT_NUM.sl2.
