  • Registered Users Posts: 5,330 ✭✭✭NeVeR


    seems to be some concerns now..


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,146 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven

    There seems to be some concerns there alright.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭quad_red


    Doesn't seem fully straightforward.

    Saying that telemetry has come through but there is a 'second stream' (?) missing and questioning elevation figures (they haven't fallen?).

    Looking at telemetry I think.

    Waiting for the elevation to go down?!?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,538 ✭✭✭brevity


    Its sitting on the rod.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,330 ✭✭✭NeVeR


    they said they can see the lander and it's sitting on the rod.. so it looks good now .


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,245 ✭✭✭check_six


    Looking at screens saying "but if these numbers are correct, that means it's heading straight for us....!"

    I heard a few numbers followed by a "nominal" so it sounds good. Yay


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,538 ✭✭✭brevity


    All seems good :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,330 ✭✭✭NeVeR


    all good they are saying... they have the landing gear locked in.

    Harpoons worked as expected.
