Kaguya is an impressive mission.
The high resolution camera, promises eight metre resolution. Perhaps we will see the true nature of many of the volcanic lunar features.
The super high spectral data, will definately throw more light onto the Moon's origins & subsequent evolution.
Mind you the LROC on board the NASA Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter will show details down to less than one metre across.
I think Lunar science is set to get a real boon from these two.
