I am starting a new thread for this mission which should fly this year.

Looks like landing sideways is a trend for landers in 2024...good thing there's solar panels on multiple sides!
How do they know it's a rock keeping it propped up, with no photos? |

I think the story ?Steve told was that there was 2mph residual lateral velocity (and 6mph downward), and they think it tripped on a rock.
The previous story that it was upright was based on seeing tank telemetry saying gravity was in the X direction; but that telemetry has been determined to be stale; now the tank is telling them gravity is on the Z axis. (E&OE) |
