US spacecraft on its side after landing on moon, covering up some antennas

Intuitive Machines, the private company that made the lander, initially believed its spacecraft was upright when it landed Thursday. But officials said Friday it almost certainly tipped over on its side, covering up some antennas and hampering communications. Intuitive Machines is the first private business to pull off a moon landing, a feat previously achieved by only five countries. And it's the first U.S. moon landing in more than 50 years.

lunar lander: Private US spacecraft is on its side on the moon with some antennas covered up, the company says

A private U.S. lunar lander, Odysseus, tipped over during touchdown near the moon s south pole, ending up on its side and hampering communications. Despite the mishap, the lander, sponsored by NASA, is thought to be within a few miles of its intended landing site. NASA s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will attempt to locate it. This marks the first private moon landing, with NASA experiments onboard. The lander s mission is expected to last about a week on the moon.
