Logisch...
It was never going to make the landing. The landing camera (ESA's PILOT-D) was pulled (along w Sweden's LINA-XSAN science mission) due to Russia's war on Ukraine. This satellite was always going to be DOA.
They just launched it for political points, so it's likely that blaming failure on a micro-meteorite en route is a ploy to save face.
Good to know!
