Link to C1XS Animations post by Doug Ellison.

C1XS technically comes in two halves – that half that monitors the Xrays as they reflect back off the surface of the moon, and an Xray Solar Monitor, to see how many Xrays are hitting the moon in the first place.That is actual flight hardware. I think the velcro-like-material is use to help attach the insulating foil that surrounds spacecraft. Chris did an amazing job to get CAD files of the instrument to me – which I then broke apart and re-modelled most of, in 3ds Max. I wasn’t able to replicate the full complexity of the instrument, but I think it’s reasonably indicative of reality.

The link to the ACTUAL animation is in the above message. Watch it its great.
