As told reporters Mark Robinson (Mark Robinson), scientific director of the experiments with a high resolution camera LROC aboard the orbiter, at the crash site were craters measuring about 5 meters.
"Look impact craters was not easier than finding a needle in a haystack ... Both (crater) were only 5 meters (in diameter). It is very small, we did not expect to find them, "- said Robinson.
Recall two identical apparatus GRAIL January 2012 examined the gravitational field of the moon, with high precision fixing microscopic abnormalities in the orbital motion of each other.
