One more image posted at the IM-1 update page, including an (overexposed) crescent Earth. (link to full-res)
(Also an implication that it has finally gone dark.) QUOTE A Fitting Farewell From Odysseus Before its power was depleted, Odysseus completed a fitting farewell transmission. Received today, this image from February 22nd showcases the lunar vista with the crescent Earth in the backdrop, a subtle reminder of humanity’s presence in the universe. Goodnight, Odie. We hope to hear from you again. 2/29/24 1650 CST [2250 UTC] (GHY-6 seems to be tracking IM-1 at the moment, but has neither transmitted nor been in lock so far this pass.) |

Wrap-up press release (dated yesterday EST); not much new beyond confirming IM-1 "entered standby mode on February 29, 2024".
(But there's another GHY-6 pass scheduled for tonight. Odd.) |

The Sun has risen at the IM-1 site. Maybe there will be an attempt to revive it.
Meanwhile, this is a very tentative experimental map of its landing site. Unfortunately, none of the descent images we have looked in the right direction to view the surface on which it landed, the the base is a grossly over-enlarged LRO image. This is subject to change as we learn more. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

There's an update dated March 23rd on Intuitive Machines' site. They listened, but didn't hear anything.
QUOTE Intuitive Machines started listening for Odie’s wake-up signal on March 20, when we projected enough sunlight would potentially charge the lander's power system and turn on its radio. As of March 23rd at 1030 A.M. Central Standard Time, flight controllers decided their projections were correct, and Odie’s power system would not complete another call home. (I did occasionally look at the GHY-6 live status, but didn't catch it being scheduled for IM-1. They may of course have been using other antenna(s).) |

Here is an LRO NAC image from May 2024 showing the IM-1 lander and a bright reflection off its broken leg.
I will crosspost this to www.nasaspaceflight.com and we will see what will happen. Also Discord! Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
