Landing was successful.
It is communicating with Earth, but the solar cell is not providing power so they are burning up the battery.
They are trying to get as much data from the unit as possible before the battery dies.
They took photos and are downloading them as priority now.
They have been forced to switch off the heater.
There is only a few hours of battery available to do what they need.
They have separated LEV1 and LEV2 (rovers).
Stay posted, they say. Need more time to figure out what is going on.

- T-A 3y agoYou just reminded me of this little cinematic gem: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_8_tt_6_nm_1_q_moon https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_8_tt_6...
- HPMOR 3y agoWow seems like a great movie!
- belter 3y agoIt is. Great finale also.
- qingcharles 3y agoIt's an awesome under-rated gem.
- riffraff 3y agoit's an absolute masterpiece.
- noncoml 3y agoIt is! Highly recommended!
- seraphsf 3y agoLove that movie! What an amazing piece of small-scale sci-fi.
- ddol 3y agoAnother great small budget movie is Primer (2004). It has one of the biggest Budget to Box office multiples I know of: ~120x ($7k -> $841k)
- grecy 3y agoI think Mad Max holds the record. (the original) Mad Max. $200k budget, almost $100m worldwide, for a 495x ROI
- kevinmchugh 3y agoDeep Throat had at least a 600x multiple (a budget of $47,000 and a box office somewhere between 30 million and 50 million). Blair witch had over a 1000x multiple, with the same 200k budget as mad Max and a box office around 200 million. Paranormal Activity also seems to be close to the 1000x mark.
- archermarks 3y agoEmpLemon has a video about this. He argued Blair Witch had the highest multiple (~1200x) https://youtu.be/PYmi559SpWI?si=_oTiHXTili5K6W5s https://youtu.be/PYmi559SpWI?si=_oTiHXTili5K6W5s
- deepsun 3y agoThe best acting by Kevin Spacey!
- dtgriscom 3y agoWhat a quiet, calm, moving soundtrack.
- aikinai 3y agoI had never heard of Moon and randomly picked it to watch on an airplane with no Internet. I was not prepared for that good of a movie!
- sjwhevvvvvsj 3y agoPhenomenal performance.
- layer8 3y agoHave they tried turning it off and on again?
- ASalazarMX 3y agoI hope to see the time when it's normal to send a pair/party of multifunctional robots instead of a single rover. Imagine them repairing each other's back.
- dotancohen 3y agoJeb?
- fffernan 3y agoHappens to me all the time in Kerbal
- deepsun 3y agoUsually because I forgot about the solar panels.
- raisin_churn 3y agoFortunately with EVA construction you can now just send Bill to glue one on. I hope JAXA is running >1.11.
- efitz 3y agoAnd the ladder
- azernik 3y agoThe actual intended landing profile and the likely failure mode are both extremely Kerbal.
- nickmcc 3y agoHas anyone confirmed if LEV1 and LEV2 can continue to operate and communicate to earth independently from SLIM, if the SLIM batteries fail?
- londons_explore 3y agoone can, the other cannot
- tuukkah 3y agoLEV-1 transmits directly to earth, and (based on what they said at the press conference) LEV-2 communicates via LEV-1. Link to the part about LEV-2: https://www.youtube.com/live/nvXLt3ET9mE?feature=shared&t=17177 https://www.youtube.com/live/nvXLt3ET9mE?feature=shared&t=17...

- edvinbesic 3y agoI’m not sure of the mission specifics here but my understanding is that the novelty was the landing maneuver which puts the lander within 100m of its designated target. From that POV you could definitely argue success.
