Odysseus Sends His First Images Of The Southern Moon

IM-1 Landing WFOV Fisheye . The IM-1 Mission successfully landed the first spacecraft on the Moon’s south pole region, marking the United States’ first return since Apollo 17 and the first commercial lunar lander to transmit valuable science data of each NASA payload from the lunar surface. In addition, the operation of the Company’s liquid methane and liquid oxygen propulsion system in deep space is flight-proven through successful mission operations. Intuitive Machines achieved these marquee accomplishments in the company’s first attempt to land on the Moon. The photos included provide some of the first photos of Odyssesus landing on the Moon.

    Flight Controllers continue to communicate with Odysseus. This morning, Odysseus efficiently sent payload science data and imagery in furtherance of the Company’s mission objectives. Flight controllers are working on final determination of battery life on the lander, which may continue up to an additional 10-20 hours. The images included here are the closest observations of any spaceflight mission to the south pole region of the Moon. Odysseus is quite the photographer, capturing this image approximately 30 meters above the lunar surface while his main engine throttled down more than 24,000 mph. Another day of exploration on the south pole region of the Moon. Photo by Intuitive Machines via ABACAPRESS.COM

            Handout photo released on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, illustrates Odysseus' landing strut performing its primary task, absorbing first contact with the lunar surface to preserve mission integrity. Meanwhile, the lander's liquid methane and liquid oxygen engine is still throttling, which provided stability. The Company believes the two insights from this image enabled Odysseus to gently lean into the lunar surface, preserving the ability to return scientific data.

                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
