This is a mosaic of the frames from the little video clip taken around the time of orbit insertion, showing Plato, Mare Frigoris and Anaxagoras. They are from a navigation camera so not very detailed.

SLIM has tested its multispectral camera by taking images from orbit. I don't have a location for the images yet. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

SLIM landing date and time from Marcia Smith. If it lands successfully the Peregrine 1 impact will occur during SLIM surface operations. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

SLIM dropped its apolune to enter a c. 600 km circular orbit on the 14th. Here is a mosaic of images from the navigation camera made at the time.
It's just on the far side with Compton near the top centre and Schwarzschild the largest crater in the lower part of the mosaic.

Looks like it landed per telemetry, awaiting confirmation.

IT seems to be landed and transmitting. IMU data on the screen is changing...

It's definitely alive on the Moon. Lots of "We are checking the status, please wait."
In the mean time the battery indicator suggests the battery is draining -- shouldn't it be charging if it landed in a correct orientation? -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Live coverage ended, awaiting press conference. Yeah, I dunno...didn't get a happy feeling.
