This may be the answer to a problem I've been working on for a while. I've built a highly detailed model of the Apollo 17 lander, crew and rover. The kit that was produced by Dragon Models comes with a base that looks like the moon's surface small micro meteorite impacts and so forth. The problem is when the decent stage engine was firing near the surface it wiped away any micrometeorite impacts and smoothed the surface out. After the astronauts and I stepped out onto the surface there would be hundreds of footprints where they walked around the craft unloading various pieces of equipment and then driving around in the lunar rover. With some of the original photographs I may be able to make a map of everywhere they walked and build that into a 3D model. Thank you so much.
