US spacecraft reached the moon
After 50 years, the US spacecraft reached the moon again. Reuters reports that the spacecraft landed near the moon's south pole on Thursday (February 22) local time.
This was the first time that the United States sent a privately owned spacecraft to the moon. Texas-based company Intuitive Machine has developed this spacecraft.
The hexagon-shaped robot Odysseus landed on the moon at 6:23 p.m. local time, Intuitive Machine and NASA said in a joint statement. This lunar mission, conducted by commercial spacecraft, was funded by the US space agency NASA.
Earlier, in January this year, a US company's lunar mission failed. This raises questions about the ability of private organizations to conduct lunar missions. Finally, in 1972, NASA successfully conducted the Apollo-17 mission to the moon.
