The first U.S. commercial moon lander, Odysseus – also known by its nickname “Odie" – will touch down in the south pole region of the moon. Here’s how to watch the historic event live.
Lunar lander Odysseus is soaring through space, but unlike previous trips, this one is owned by Houston-based Intuitive Machines. The craft is scheduled to touchdown on the moon at 6:24pm ET.
If successful, the IM-1 mission would become the first non-governmental lander to safely reach the Moon in history. The Nova-C lander named Odysseus is set to land at about 6:24 p.m. EST (2324 UTC).
