Ferri: @Philae2014 has one or two more communications passes left, now and again tonight, before battery power runs out.

Ferri: @Philae2014 have done all they can without mechanical movements, then deployed MUPUS, may try drill during comm session.

Ferri: If MUPUS destabilized the lander it may ruin contact this morning so it is a risk but worthwhile because everything else was done.

Ferri: Tonight if they do succeed in one last downlink they will try to rotate lander body to aim largest solar panel toward sunlight.

Ferri: "They want to try and do this as a minimum and then therere are other crazy ideas but I doubt we will have the power."

But Ferri has not lost hope that changing solar season or even comet activity could cause better sun conditions & revive lander sometime.

They have done the first of two ranging measurements with CONSERT above lander to triangulate its position. Still haven't found it in images
