Today at 6:23 p.m. EST, the Odysseus moon lander touched lunar soil, marking the first time a U.S. spacecraft has landed on the moon in more than 50 years.
A little more than 7 days after successfully launching from Cape Canaveral, the Intuitive Machines IM-1 mission to the moon successfully delivered its stock of payloads to the moon’s South Pole. You can see video of the landing in the tweet below. It is the first lunar landing since NASA’s Apollo program ended with the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
