The moon lander Odysseus will stop operating the day after tomorrow (Tuesday 5/3/2024) when darkness falls on its landing area on the side

  • One response
Odysseus landed on its side instead of landing at a vertical angle, which disrupted communication with Earth. Some of the antennas were blocked by the inverted spacecraft, and those that remained exposed were too close to the ground, leading to patchy communications.
