I have sent them an email
 | | Hello
I am so excited about you moon project. I was wondering if you would be able to acquire high definition photos and provide to the public. Also it would be interesting if you could provide photos of the USA landing sites from their previous moon missions.
Thank you |
if interested in contacting japan

Dear John Savage,
Thank you so much for your warm message on the images by KAGUYA.
Please visit our website for the latest information.
KAGUYA project website
http://www.selene.jaxa.jp/en/index.htm
As for your question, we estimate that it will be impossible to
find any wreckage of Apollo mission of NASA with the accuracy of
the cameras onboard the KAGUYA.
We anticipate your continuous interest toward KAGUYA.

Dear Kyoko FUKUDA
Simply wonderful, and I wish you, the program and Japan great success.
If you can find any remains of the Apollo programs they would reside in the following area
their landing site in the southern Sea of Tranquility about 20 kilometers (12 mi) southwest of the crater Sabine D (0.67408N, 23.47297E). But certainly I understand if it is not possible.
I do have some questions about the KAGUYA mission.
Why did it take so long to get to the moon? The launch was sept 14th and the first lunar orbit procedure was Oct 5th about 20 days. How could the USA make it in 3 days way back in 1969, with antiquated technology by todays standards? I understand that sling shot orbit required some adjusting, but 3 days and 20 days is a huge difference. Maybe weight difference had something to due with the speed.
I would like to know what protection was used by KAGUYA Mission to prevent destruction of equipment while traveling through the Van Allen radiation belt?
Thanks in advance
John Savage

| | Is SELENE scheduled to observe the location of the Apollo landing sites and if the onboard cameras have the resolution to capture discernable images of the landing sites to find Apollo lunar rover, etc..
KAGUYA (SELENE) observes the entire lunar surface using mission instruments such as Terrain camera, multiband imager, etc. This means that KAGUYA provides images where Apollo were landed with 10 meter resolution of Terrain Camera. Since Apollo lander and rover were too small to detect with 10 meter resolution, it is difficult for us to provide discernable images of the landing sites of the Apollo. |

Oh that is so cool you e-mailed them, Japan is a controlled society and I am not sure how much control the Shadow Governments have over them?
