"Odysseus Moon Lander Transmits Final Images Before Imminent Shutdown"

The toppled moon lander, Odysseus, has sent back more images of the moon's south polar region just hours before its expected demise due to being on its side, which hampers communication and power generation. Once sunlight can no longer reach its solar panels, operations will end, expected to happen between Tuesday afternoon and early Wednesday. The mission, part of NASA's lunar economy effort, was supposed to last until Thursday, with six NASA experiments on board. Intuitive Machines is the first private business to land a spacecraft on the moon without crashing, while another U.S. company's lunar lander mission was doomed by a fuel leak.
