Mosaic of Chandrayaan-1 Moon Impact Probe images
Mosaic of Chandrayaan-1 Moon Impact Probe images The Chandrayaan-1 Moon Impact Probe carried three instruments, one of which was a camera. Because the Probe spun as it descended, the camera images also rotated, making it something of a challenge to mosaic the images. This mosaic was created by space geographer Phil Stooke by grabbing frames from a video of descent images and overlaying them on a Clementine mosaic. ISRO / DoD / Phil Stooke
