A private U.S. lunar lander tipped over at touchdown and ended up on its side near the moon’s south pole, hampering communications, company officials said Friday.
A U.S. company, Intuitive Machines, has successfully landed a spacecraft on the moon, becoming the first private entity to do so. This achievement marks a significant milestone, as only five countries have previously achieved a safe moon landing. Despite the lander tipping over on its side, Intuitive Machines managed to establish limited communications, showcasing the growing capabilities of commercial space exploration efforts.
