"Intuitive Machines' Odysseus Lunar Lander Ends Mission Early, Sends Final Photos from Moon"

Intuitive Machines expects to communicate with its Odysseus lunar lander for only one more day, a much shorter timeline than previously expected. The lander, tipped on its side on the lunar surface, is expected to continue communicating with flight controllers until Feb. 27. The mission's landing site has been identified about 1.5 kilometers from its intended location near Malapert A crater. The limited lifetime and low data rates may affect operations of its payloads, including the EagleCam, and shares in Intuitive Machines were down more than one third in trading midday Feb. 26 on the Nasdaq exchange.
