The device was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 15 and reached the Moon’s orbit in six days. On board is a complex of scientific experiments for NASA and several commercial customers.

The American robotic lunar probe Odysseus took the first photographs from the Moon and sent them back to Earth. About that reported developer company Intuitive Machines.

It is known that the first photograph was taken during the landing at the Malapert A landing site – a point in the southern region of the Moon. Another shot was taken 35 seconds after the rover flipped over during landing.

Intuitive Machines states that it is communicating with the ground-based flight controller. Flight controllers aim to collect data until the lander’s solar panels are no longer exposed to light.

It should be noted that Odysseus was on the Moon for four days. It landed within 1.5 km of Malapert A’s planned landing site, using a laser ranging system installed hours before landing.

It was previously reported that the Odysseus spacecraft, which had successfully landed on the Moon the previous day, had turned over on its side, but continued to operate.
