They switched to IR when I was watching the live feed. Maybe something will turn up there.

Has this mission failed then?
I thought it had worked OK.

Edit: no it wasn't:
In the pilot, nuclear waste from Earth stored on the moon explodes in a catastrophic accident on 13 September 1999, knocking the moon out of its orbit and sending it and the 311 inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha hurtling uncontrollably into outer space.

They went for a shadowed crater as it would not have seen sunlight for a few billion years, therefore increasing the chance of finding frozen water.
HTH.

No plume, no results = failure. Why do the mission controllers at the end stand up clapping. Was it hard to smash a probe in to the moon??
Also have a look at where they crash it. The biggest shadowed area on the face of the dam moon. WTF!! Couldn't they have gone a few 100 meters north so they could actually see the crator or what might have gone wrong?
Maybe I am not intellectual enough to understand this level of thinking but this looks like one might cock up to me.

The analysis is of the material detected in the plume by the probe, not a visible analysis.
