>(SELENE,) the Terrain Camera (TC) and Multi-band Imager (MI,) on
>November 3, 2007, processed the acquired data, and confirmed they were
>functioning properly.  The observation was part of the initial
>functional verification of the KAGUYA, which had been injected into
>the Moon's orbit at an altitude of about 100 km.  In a global first,
>both three-dimensional (stereo) observations of the Moon by the TC
>with a 10-meter aerial resolution and a multi-band observations by the
>MI with a 20-meter aerial resolution of the Moon's backside and near
>polar were taken.
