ha, landed upside down but was still able to release spherical rovers that could even then take a picture of it.. thats so cool!

afaik it flipped over at landing and the rovers where released about 5m above ground.
Honestly pretty awesome it could automatically compensate against loosing almost 50% of thrust, stay perfectly on trajectory and land successfully.
The Chinese lander, i think last year, didnt have compensation-features built-in and crashed.
