The IM-1 article

Until I at least know whether or not this mission has done anything more than just landed, I am not going to write a single word in the IM-1 article. Apparently the mission is currently having some fairly serious communication problems, as they have shut down their newsfeed now for 4 hours with no new news at all. I certainly hope that they figure this one out, but if they don't I think it might completely change the content and tone of both articles.

Good news. I just found this at Twitter/X from IM: "After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface." Will put it in the article. Lighthumormonger (talk) 03:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IM's communications issue

Clearly there is some kind of a communication issue with Odysseus, or else we would've gotten an image back by now approximately six hours after the landing. The fact that Odysseus is upright may have been deduced only because of the fact that there is an antenna that can still reach back to earth, and no more qualified data than that simple deduction. It is quite possible that the IM staff is totally maxed out at this point after all of the tension that has been building up to the landing, and just needs a few hours to recuperate before they can tackle this next problem, who knows?

Odysseus is on its side

Hi Sdsds,
There is an ongoing NASA/I am news conference going on right now on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwm_9OEL-68. Thought you might want to know. Now that the bulk of the stuff for the Odysseus lander is on a different page, I'm going to bow out for a while. Good working with you.
