“Another day of exploration on the south pole region of the Moon.”
Those are the upbeat words today from the Intuitive Machines flight controllers as they continue to communicate with their troubled Odysseus lunar lander.
“This morning, Odysseus efficiently sent payload science data and imagery in furtherance of the Company’s mission objectives,” explains a posting from the group.
According to the update, ground controllers are deciphering just how much battery life remains on the lander, “which may continue up to an additional 10-20 hours.”
