During a NASA press conference on Feb. 22, 2024, Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus revealed that the company’s IM-1 lander had tipped over on the moon’s surface. The historic IM-1 mission is now operational on the moon after becoming the first privately developed spacecraft to soft land on the lunar surface. Intuitive Machines’ cargo lander, Odysseus, has returned its first images from the moon’s surface, settling into its lunar destination. Despite tipping over, Odysseus is still sending back data and is expected to operate until Tuesday morning. Intuitive Machines’ stock fell 35% in Monday, but the company remains optimistic about the mission’s success.
