Moon Observation by KAGUYA's Terrain Camera 「かぐや」月面を三次元観測

The Terrain Camera (TC) can observe the day-time side of the Moon using two cameras that respectively face the slightly diagonal front and back sides of the straight down direction of the satellite.It can take 3D (stereo) images of the Moon's globe with high definition of 10m.
South latitude: 89 degrees / East longitude: 240 degrees, about 30 km from the South Pole on the Moon's backside.

TC and HDTV are different cameras. The HDTV has a resolution auf 2 MPixels for motion pictures.

TC shoots stills and 10m at a distance of 100 km is already realised be a small teleskope mounted with the camera.

I wonder if the TC has really a definition of 10 meters. Pretty rough granularity for an HDTV camera. I also wonder to what extent JAXA will reveal what NASA has been brusing out. Possibly there is some kind of treaty between the two.
