Three new images were shown during the press conference.
The two that Huguet already posted are now up in this PDF. Here's my screencap of the third (which I think is just the un-re-projected version of one of the others, but additionally shows the horizon, I think). |

It's quite difficult to undistort the fisheye image but think I see damage on at least three landing gear assemblies. "A" .. maybe OK; "B" .. completely detached; "C" .. just torn thermal blanket?; "D" .. if this is a pad, that strut is badly out of place. I need to go back to the Press Kit to determine if the "tilted image" (also released today) is viewing the same panel as this one is -- if so, "A" is certainly damaged and "C" is enough off the regolith for the pad to throw a shadow. Also, if "B" is completely detached, it came from the far side of IM-1, implying that the direction of motion is upward in the photo. A lot of guesses, I know ..

Here is an updated moon map showing landings and impacts. I am classifying IM-1, SLIM and Luna 23 as successful landings (as I would Mars 3 and Beagle 2, based on what we know now). on the basis that they were able to operate to some degree after reaching the surface. If you are in bits on the surface it was not a successful landing. If you can transmit anything or start to deploy solar panels (Beagle 2) it was a successful landing. The question of whether or not it was a successful mission is a different matter and not one I am concerned with here. I am of course clarifying this because of the endless chatter about this topic in other places.

A couple images from ILOA. in one you can see the surface and a detached leg on it. I also share a photo I found (can't recall where) showing the damaged legs from a before/after perspective. It helps make sense of the leg situation at landing.

"It's quite difficult to undistort the fisheye image but..."
Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop both have functions that can normalize a fisheye lens. I've not tried it yet, but I'll report back. -------------------- |

Simeon Schmauß already has done this and produced astounding results!

Here is my take in making a panorama out of the fisheye view at contact (click on the picture to browse the 360° panorama):
It gives pretty nice results with the other ILO-X WFOV pictures: -------------------- |

"Lunar Surface Day Seven Update" from IM-1 status page (dated 0920 CST = 1520 UTC):
QUOTE Still kicking.
Odysseus continues to operate on the lunar surface. At approximately 11:00 am CST, flight controllers intend to downlink additional data, and command Odie into a configuration that he may phone home if and when he wakes up when the sun rises again. |

It helps make sense of the leg situation at landing. Don Davis tweeted an image that looks about the same as the one you posted showing before-after differences. |
