yes, 1/4 degree

This implies a (probably) very flat landing site. Maybe similar to Doug's rendering?

Bed time for me too in an hour or two - that is, if I'm able to fall to sleep. Will probably have to wake up in the middle of the night to check for any images wink.gif.

"Solar arrays open" is listed as occurring at 00:06:33 ERT (UTC). Does anyone remember when confirmation that this worked is due?

Completely flat only landing site but still don't know how are they arounds!!!

Wait for few minutes for a possible transmission of pictures.

The solar panels will deploy a little after the touchdown. This pause allows the dust kicked up during the landing to settle and not collect on the arrays.

Peter is talking about extended mission! Mood is high, very high.
What a thing it was to share this with you all.

Edited : a big thanks to administrators an a thought for Emily having her server down. I hope you enjoyed the landing anyway
