Umgekippter Mond-Lander Odysseus schickt Bilder

Nach der ersten kommerziellen Mondlandung der Raumfahrtgeschichte liegt der Lander Nova C zwar wohl auf der Seite, schickt aber jetzt erste Bilder.

Mondlander Nova-C offenbar umgekippt | heise online

De Odysseus lander ligt op zijn kant op de Maan

Tijdens zijn afdaling naar het zuidpoolgebied van de Maan heeft mogelijk een van de poten van de lander het oppervlak geraakt, aldus Intuitive Machines.

Простите, я называл это Nova-C, IM-1, Одиссей.

Но, как мы видим, называть его надо не иначе как SLIM-2 :ageblobcat: :ageblobcat:

#NovaC #IM1 #NASA #space #SLIM1 #IM

@azphilosopher I think the engineering is better, and it's updated. The goals are different... NovaC is a lunar landing service whereas Surveyor was an Apollo fact finding mission. The payload is delivered with a higher reliability (80% for LM-1 vs 10-15٪ for Surveyor 1). The cost per unit (in adjusted dollars) is improved... about $60M each in 1966‐68 for 7 Surveyors and $118M each today for #NovaC. A more capable craft. My point was that 58 years ago those engineers were visionary.

Seems a good feature for a moon lander would be the ability to turn their engines on again to reposition.

If the #intuitivemachines #NovaC is sitting with its antenna oriented the wrong way they could hop to correct it.

The Japanese #SLIM lander could probably knock itself back onto its proper landing legs.

Guten Morgen Mond, Mastodon und happy Friday 🌖 #tgif #NovaC #intuitiveMachines #CLPS https://ard.social/@tagesschau/111978098440380398

The Intuitive Machines #NovaC #Odysseus lander is impressive and state of the art and successfully made an autonomous landing near the South pole of the Moon. it's lifetime of operations will be about one week long.
This makes me appreciate that 58 years ago (June 2 1966) NASA's Surveyor 1 made its own robotic moon landing in Oceanus Procellarum and returned thousands of pictures from its TV cameras over the 6 months of its lifetime on the moon.

Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lander, part of NASA's CLPS initiative, has successfully transmitted its first images from space. Scheduled for a lunar touchdown on February 22, this mission marks the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon in over 50 years and the first under NASA's Artemis program. Equipped with six NASA payloads, it aims to gather vital data for future lunar exploration.

Malapert A is a satellite crater to #Malapert, a 69 km #crater. The #IM1 landing site is about 300 km from the #Moon’s 🌙 south pole. https://www.intuitivemachines.com/_files/ugd/7c27f7_51f84ee63ea744a9b7312d17fefa9606.pdf
