"Odysseus Moon Lander Mission: Success, Set for Mission-Ending Slumber"

Odysseus, the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon in 50 years, is nearing the end of its mission after a challenging touchdown. Despite communication and power issues, NASA and Intuitive Machines consider the mission a success, with data retrieved from all six science payloads. The "soft" lunar landing marks a breakthrough in commercial space exploration and is a key milestone for NASA's Artemis program. Engineers plan to restart Odysseus in three weeks after it enters a slumber due to depleted solar power, following a rough landing caused by a navigational glitch.
