me too... there was a second craft that was supposed to observe and report back, wasn't there? I didn't see it talking to the deep space network afterwards.

- generj 4y agoYes, an Italian cube sat called LICIACube. It will start broadcasting its data a little before midnight Eastern, though it might be months before everything is transferred. Because it is a cube sat (only 14 kg) the transmitters are not very powerful so I believe the transmission rate is low.
