"US Moon Lander Enters Permanent Sleep Mode After Historic Landing"

The uncrewed American lander, Odysseus, built by Intuitive Machines, has ceased communication after failing to "wake up" following its historic landing on the Moon. Despite landing at a wonky angle and encountering various challenges, the mission has been deemed a success by both Intuitive Machines and NASA. The lander, carrying NASA instruments, aimed to enhance scientific understanding of the lunar south pole as part of NASA's Artemis program. This marks a significant milestone in NASA's initiative to delegate cargo missions to the private sector and pave the way for future lunar exploration and the development of long-term habitats.
