Is the spacecraft still spinning ?
#Beresheet's going to boost herself into an orbit with a 400,000 km apogee tomorrow, an orbit that intersects with the lunar orbit.
The fully loaded on-board scheduled commands list includes failure countermeasures, data gathering and some cool image capturing.

The spacecraft nominally spins at 1 deg/sec except when preparing for (and during) a maneuver.

Beresheet is right now (0902 UTC) 9° above my eastern horizon in Kiel/Germany. Her signal is loud, I can hear her in the loudspeaker. She is spinning. Fingers crossed!
