    • Description

      Exactly one month ago, the Smart-1 mission came to an end with a controlled impact on the Moon.
      Today's Exchange provides a summary of mission achievements and an account of the ""crash scene investigation"" that scientists have been making since.
      The shot list is posted under http://television.esa.int/photos/EbS48270.pdf
      A Quicktime 7 preview file is online under http://esatv-movies.e-vision.nl/videos/mp4/SMART-1_impact_on_Moon.mp4

      During its sixteen months around our moon, Europeís SMART-1 orbiter has taken some of the highest resolution pictures ever obtained of its surface.
      The satelliteís AMIE miniature camera has sent back some 20 thousand views. The whole Moon has been mapped with resolution from 40 m in the South to 200 m over the North Pole... valuable information for future missions.

      Features that predominate are the millions of craters, large and small, that pockmark the surface... evidence of the regular onslaught of meteorites throughout the ages.
      Lunar impact flashes during a Leonids meteor shower were first reported by Spanish astronomers in 1999. In May this year, a 10-inch NASA telescope was able, by chance, to record the impact flash of such a meteorite.
      Four months later, the SMART-1 satellite has made its own mark on the Moon, with a precisely controlled and spectacular finale to its mission.
