"Odysseus Moon Lander: Photos Show Snapped Leg and Potential Mission End"

The first images of the Odysseus robot on the Moon show it lying on its side with a broken leg after completing the first privately built vehicle soft landing on the lunar surface. Despite the setback, the spacecraft continued to send back data about the lunar environment, with engineers expecting it to go into hibernation soon. The mission is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, aiming to establish a thriving lunar economy, with Intuitive Machines planning two more missions in 2024.
