Somebody must have a verifiable NEO asteroid flyby datefor Chang'e 2.
as far as I know, only observations with the camera, laser altimeter and microwave radiometer are planned.concerning the camera, its design is not suitable for imaging during a flyby, so only 2 pictures are expected: one on the inbound leg, the second on the outbound leg.see for ex:http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/27635http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=7433&view=findpost&p=195264http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3105&view=findpost&p=185840
Flyby images now available Relative speed at 10.73 km/sClosest flyby at 3.2 km altitudeMaximum resolution 10 meters
@ cjdThat's one red rock! Is that real colour or some kind of enhanced false colour for geochemical/geological analysis?
