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

(that rather opaque PDF URL being linked from the IM-1 mission updates page; as well as the LROC image, it includes a rather washed-out image from the surface, and another from approach)
Here's the LROC release, confirming that's the source of the orbit image, and with blink comparison etc. Includes "Odysseus came to rest at 80.13°S, 1.44°E, 2579 m elevation, within a degraded one-kilometer diameter crater where the local terrain is sloped at a sporty 12°." (I've been watching the GHY-6 antenna status page on and off. When the S-band status suggests it's transmitting to IM-1, the S-band "downlink receiver" status has been sometimes "in lock" but often not, whereas when the antenna's talking to Aditya-L1 it seems steadily "in lock". Dunno whether much can be read into that, such as whether they got IM-1 out of the cycling-between-antennas-etc mode. I guess AMSAT-DL might have been paying closer attention, but I don't have easy access to Twitter/X to check what they might have said.) |
