Quite impressive this spacecraft will really orbit around a binary asteroid system using a camera-based autonomous navigation system

ESA must defend against Trump-NASA. Recently the USA threatened Europeans again if they "prevent" entry of US-Starlink and other AI slop spam working for Putin. The USA has become a security risk not only for Ukrainians but all Europans under agent Krasnov.

Starshield is being abused to endanger European interests.

Spent time doing shape modeling from flyby imagery and the thing I'm most curious about is whether they get good enough lighting geometry on the crater rim.

I am absolutely positive someone thought about illumination of the subject before they spent 356 million euros on the project.

It's not a flyby, so I assume there will be multiple opportunities for photography under varied lighting conditions.
