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

And even if it were, it would be a "moving target".
If finding the Earth alrady is difficult, what then about a fast moving satellite? Btw, Press Conference at 22:00 UTC. And the EagleCam is alive, but it was deliberately NOT (yet) deployed. Thorsten |

And the EagleCam is alive, but it was deliberately NOT (yet) deployed. No-one's mentioned EagleCam yet in the presser; hope someone asks. [edit:] Someone did ask. The panel the EagleCam is on is, luckily, facing sideways; they plan to fire it once comms are better, where it should go up to 30m from the lander and should be able to image it. (It wasn't ejected during landing because it was the nav system's job to do that, and there wasn't time to rejig that bit during the last-minute software patching to cope with the lack of laser rangefinder) |
