With the upcoming GRAIL lunar mission does anyone know what kind of detail they are expecting from the cameras on board? And if they would be able to image the Apollo landers?
I had a google and was unable to find any specs for them.

Seeing that the camera is an educational add-on to a mission with a prime objective of mapping lunar gravity, I'd very much doubt if it was high resolution. |

I think these are video cameras rather than pushbroom imagers like LRO, so it's always possible that they might pick up a sun glint off something at a landing site.
