So, Jonathan McDowell was right and I'm very happy that another difficult step is behind Odysseus!
Now, to keep the landing time, either more orbits are needed or the orbital period is much longer than the 2 hours I understood from the Press kit.Given that the 92 km circular orbit is a bit lower than the one originally mentioned, perhaps the former? Fernando |

Updated landing time again. https://twitter.com/Int_Machines/status/1760703551766933872
15:24 CST Note that this is an hour earlier than all the earlier expected landing times, for everyone planning their day around this. Perhaps they're coming down an orbit early. Not sure. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Apparently the lander's laser altimeter isn't working. They're involving some other NASA assets (I didn't quite follow how exactly) to compensate.

It's the NDL tech demo (apparently not a demo now!) They really want to land now rather than troubleshoot.

PDI has started and is going well. NDL is working!
