performed in various simulations on the ground. the engine did not leave a crater of any size. it has about one-foot clearance on the ground. i can see some evidence of rays emanating from the descent engine but very insignificant amount. roger, neil. we re reading you loud and clear. see you getting some pictures and the contingency sample. interesting, it s a very soft surface but here and there where i plug with the contingency sample collector i run into very hard surface, but it appears to be a very cohesive material of the same sort.

we re copying. > there seems to be no difficulty in moving around. as we suspected. it s even perhaps easier than the simulations of 16g that we performed in various simulations on the ground. the descent engine did not leave a crater of any size. it has about one-foot clearance on the ground. i can see some evidence of rays emanating from the descent engine but very insignificant amount. roger, neil. we re reading you loud and clear. see you getting some pictures and the contingency sample. interesting, it s a very soft surface but here and there where i plug with the contingency sample collector i run into very hard surface, but it appears to be a very cohesive material of
