Actually I was wrong about the initial and later direction of the orbit axis. It started with the orbiter swinging way to the left, as seen from earth (axis pointing at us), and is rotating now to be behind the moon, most of the time, come early next week, and in sight when it needs to do burns to circularize its orbit. By the time it lands, the orbit should have swung further and be coming up close to its axis pointing not too far from us, again. It should be in line of sight most of the time, by then.
