The Odysseus spacecraft successfully landed near the lunar south pole on Thursday in a tense final descent.
Despite initial reports suggesting it was upright, the company behind the landing revealed it may be lying sideways, with its top resting on a small rock.
This landing marked an important milestone as the first American spaceship to reach the Moon since the Apollo era.
The spacecraft encountered challenges during the landing, including a failure in navigation technology that required a hasty solution from ground engineers.
Although some data download issues occurred due to the spacecraft’s position, the mission is still considered a success and sets the stage for future lunar exploration under NASA’s Artemis program.
