What's our best knowledge about the attitude - esp. the tilt relative to horizontal - of Philae at the time it shut down? Did the movements of the MUPUS penetrator and drill cause late changes? How stable is the lander now, with how many feet on the ground? How far away from the "wall" is it - and how high (degree-wise) is the horizon in other directions?

For sh: is there a fixed publication date by now for the first post-arrival papers from the orbiter instrument teams? Have those papers been submitted already, and if so, covering data til which time? And ... will the world finally get to see some close-up OSIRIS images (i.e. from the low orbital phase) at the time the papers appear?
