Moon Section 50 South-A

thingiverse

The third in a series of three Moon sections from JAXA. Please load all three files to cover the Moon Latitudes from 80 South to 50 South, and half way around the Moon. They all fit together. Enjoy! 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). 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 Instructions I wrote a computer program in the Perl Language. It takes JAXA data and gives .stl file. You can buy the Perl Program. The Moon data is from a file that you can get from JAXA. It is called: LALT_GGT_NUM.sl2 file size: 486 megabyteshttp://l2db.selene.darts.isas.jaxa.jp/index.html
