PASADENA, Calif. -- A camera aboard one of NASA's twin Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) lunar spacecraft has returned its first unique view of the far side of the moon. MoonKAM, or Moon Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students, will be used by students nationwide to select lunar images for study.

GRAIL consists of two identical spacecraft, recently named Ebb and Flow, each of which is equipped with a MoonKAM. The images were taken as part of a test of Ebb's MoonKAM on Jan. 19. The GRAIL project plans to test the MoonKAM aboard Flow at a later date.

Excellent, I hope to see some nice clips. This is a great opportunity for the pupils in selected schools. It would only be better if the mission lasted longer than 3 months.

Not sure if you are all trolling but it's the far side of the moon which is usually in the dark. I'd like to see you try and get a shot of that FROM THE OTHER SIDE!
