Of course, a mechanical or electronic failure is likely to end the mission long before the RTG wears out (same as on Curiosity)

I can't find an English-language source for this so far, but I'm very curious about the trajectory of the 'skip' that it did before reentry. Where did it execute this maneuver (i.e., over what part of the Earth)? Wondering how far it skipped.
