[i]Explains Bernard Foing, ESA SMART-1 Project Scientist: "SMART-1 had a hard, grazing and bouncing landing at two kilometers per second on the surface of the Moon. There were no other spacecraft in orbit at the time to give a close-up view of the impact, and finding the precise location became a 'cold case' for more than 10 years." ...The crash scene of SMART-1 is 34.262 degrees south and 46.193 degrees west, consistent with the coordinates of impact calculated initially, according to a EPSC press statement.[/i]
