        New Images Of Odysseus Spacecraft Released

        Handout photo taken on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, shows flight controllers commanded Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus spacecraft to capture a new image using its narrow-field-of-view camera. Previous attempts to send photos from landing and the days following returned unusable imagery. After successfully transmitting the image to Earth, flight controllers received additional insight into Odysseus' position on the lunar surface.

          Handout photo shows M-1 Mission Public Affairs Camera Image 4. Intuitive Machines successfully transmitted its first IM-1 mission images to Earth on February 16, 2024. The photos were captured shortly after separation from SpaceX’s second stage, marking the start of Intuitive Machines' first journey to the Moon under NASA’s CLPS initiative. The Odysseus lunar lander, nicknamed "Odie" or IM-1, has become the first US-made spacecraft to touch down on the moon in 50 years. The lander is upright and starting to send data, according to Odie's developer, Intuitive Machines. Odie is the first commercial spacecraft to make touchdown on the moon. The milestone comes after a failed US lunar lander mission last month. Photo by Intuitive Machine via ABACAPRESS.COM

Li Zhe, 45, guest researcher at the School of Architecture at Tianjin University, dedicates his time to preserving images of the Great Wall, a cultural relic. In an effort to preserve the images of the Great Wall and ensure the sustainable use of the data, a research team with the School of Architecture at Tianjin University initiated a project in late 2018 that involves the use of the latest technology as drones to collect "the most complete possible real-scene three-dimensional images of the Great Wall".
