They now think the lander is sitting still on the surface and on its side. Apparently the signal has been reacquired (they have not actually said that but their conversation seems to indicate that is the case).

Do they deflate the airbags strategically, to aid in righting the lander, or is it otherwise self-righting? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool. Try it! http://webhosting.yahoo.com/ps/sb/
They talked about that just before going off the air. The bags deflate first and then the lander rights itself. Chuck Hards wrote:
