More data on the instrumentation onboard can be found in DLR's fact sheet [1]. So I'm guessing if the hardware has survived, we should see some more science data trickling in. Fingers crossed!

Yes, the power is pretty good. The temperature is currently told as -35 degree Celsius. I wonder how fast would the temperature variations be, with respect to the movement of the comet and how the lander with adjust to that.

  That temperature made me think that humans could survive there if only they were sheltered from the vacuum and radiation of space. I expected the temperature to be much lower, could this temperature be on the sunny side?

    I am also surprised. I guess its because the comet is near perihelion.
