SMART-1: Crash into the moon
The SMART-1 impact took place on 3 sept on lunar orbit 2890 at spacecrafttime 05:42:21.759 (time of generation of last received packet). The JIVE radio telescope from Hobart Tasmania measured a loss of signal at 05H42:22.394 UTC.
Beware that the time specified below, 05:42:21.759, according to the Mission Control people, is the Spacecraft Event Time. It does not necessarily coincide with the Universal Time used for events detected by ground-based telescopes. The difference between the two scales must be checked with the Mission Control Team. It can be non-negligible (e.g. 1.25 s of light propagation Moon-Earth).
