Lander is still in Phase 2

Burn in about 10 mins (BTW for avoidance of doubt - these are animated status screens)

M2 lander is already under construction.

Still no live telemetry being displayed, though; what was on screen is a simulation.

Video (not Live) from lander

Communication with lander may be lost during descent - not necessarily an issue (landing is fully automated)

L-2 mins

Connection lost; now at planned landing time

Seemed like it wasn't slowing down fast enough

That's unfourtunate

FutureSpaceTourist · « **Reply #173 on:** 04/25/2023 04:42 pm »

Last telemetry shown a min ago

FutureSpaceTourist · « **Reply #174 on:** 04/25/2023 04:43 pm »

They are trying to establish what happened

lrk · « **Reply #175 on:** 04/25/2023 04:44 pm »

Also note that it was supposed to cut the main engine and switch to the aux engines for the final landing; if the graphic we were seeing was driven by telemetry that doesn't seem to have happened.

No contact with the lander at this time. We're watching a lot of anxious faces in the control room.

My wife was saying that just before LOS.

Still investigating lander status
