It finally bounced a couple times and kilometers from where it first hit and is now resting on its side. Correction to my above post -- it weighs 10 grams not 14 on the comet.

Nov 15, 2014 23:28 | #10 Batteries drained. Now in sleep mode. No more science can be done from the surface unless the comet gets closer to the sun and spins in a way that exposes the solar cells towards the sun from its awkward position. Some hope of that, but not much of a chance that it will happen.
