Does anyone from the engineering side or the science team know the dimensions of the exposed ice under the lander? Particularly, the radius from the outermost ice periphery to the spacecraft centerline? Also, is there a DEM (digital elevation map) of the exposed ice sheet? I think this is the largest altered site due to plume effects seen in space exploration. Quite exciting! Any information that may be known would be great! Thanks!

PS. My preliminary calculations are: radius = ~ 60-75 cm and there appears to be three exposed regions.
