This is a fully automated terrain mapper, it is designed for Luna but can be used for other celestial bodies with some modifications.
It takes a 11x11 square of coordenates with 70m spacings between them, then analizes and looks for a suitable landing spot.
You might need to make some changes that will make it work as you want it to.
1- Set your slowmode to the highest possible (20x) this will help the craft take more accurate data points.
2- The program comes with a variable for the resolution of the system (set that to the distance in meters you want the data points to be separated by)
3- You have to align the antenna perpendicular to where you're moving, use AG5 to activate the rotator and Slider 1 to move it around, once it is set properly set AG5 off and set Slider 1 to 0 (you can skipe the turning off and setting slider to 0)
Once that is done, open the log on the command chip (under the fork antenna) and press AG7 to start the loop.
Any orbit on Luna above 20km should be good, lower orbits will work with maybe some accuracy issues.
The Max Slope allowed can be changed in the Slope Custom Expression.
Let me know about any problems or any improvements that could be made
Also thanks to sflanker for some help with the system.

It seems like there is a missing instruction: Toggle activation group 7 on (this may not be visible in the activation panel because there are no parts for that group, but you can toggle this by pressing the
7key). Without activation group 7 enabled the flight program doesn't seem to do anything. -

@KatipunanSpaceAgency it scans terrain and looks for a good landing site

Also, forgot to add, you have to click AG7 to open the loop once you have gone through all of the previously mentioned instructions.
