Amazing Images of South Pole Region

[Unitron48]

"ShadowCam is a NASA-funded instrument hosted onboard the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) satellite. By collecting high-resolution images of the Moon’s permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), ShadowCam will provide critical information about the distribution and accessibility of water ice and other volatiles at spatial scales (1.7 m/pixel) required to mitigate risks and maximize the results of future exploration activities: http://shadowcam.sese.asu.edu/about

One of ShadowCam’s first images from lunar orbit is the permanently shadowed wall and floor of Shackleton crater, which is found near the South Pole. The level of detail is possible thanks to ShadowCam’s ability to operate in extremely low-light conditions – it is 200 times more sensitive than the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Narrow Angle Camera.
