The Odysseus spacecraft has successfully reached the lunar surface
The Odysseus lander designed by private aerospace company Intuitive Machines has become the first US-made spacecraft to touch down on the Moon since 1972. It was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 15.
“Today for the first time in more than a half-century, the US has returned to the Moon,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said shortly after the 14-foot-tall lander successfully reached the lunar surface. “Today is a day that shows the power and promise of NASA’s commercial partnerships.”
