The Evil Lunar Lander unexpectedly woke up and sent the last message

Space can be an unforgivable place. Last week, Lunne Lander slipped through the surface of the moon and found himself in a cold, dark crater, ending his mission before it began. Now, the details recently discovered by Houston -based aerospace company Intuitive Machines have relayed the last moments of Athens Lander and how the spacecraft briefly scattered after it fed.

Athens touched on the moon’s surface On Thursday, March 6, after a week trip to the moon. Lander found himself aside in a shallow crater in the Mons Mouton lunar region, 820 feet (250 meters) from his target landing spot. Less than a day after its pressing, Athens was declared deadS But now Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altum has discovered That the company’s lunar Lander is not dead on arrival and that the “mission is pressed forward” before its untimely end.

Intuitive machines also released a 360-degree image of Athens, which was sewn together, using the four Lander cameras on board.

On the way to the moon, the Athens height failed, which means that the agricultural cannot measure how far it is from the moon’s surface. As a result, Lander struck the lunar plateau, removed and slipped over the surface before it was in a small crater, according to Ars TechnicaS As he slid down the jagged terrain of the south pole of the moon, the farmer fired dust from the surface, some of which found themselves on their solar panels. In addition to the fact that Lander was aside, the dust meant that there would be little chance at Athens to use its solar power panels.

Lander is full of NASA’s scientific instruments and instruments as part of NASA Trade lunar useful services (CLPS) Program. Immediately after the touch, the team accelerated payload operations, transmitting valuable data before the Athens batteries are completely exhausted, according to Altemus. “In just 12 hours of surface operations, we have collected extremely valuable data for our clients,” he wrote in his statement.

This is the second journey of intuitive machines to the moon, and the second time its agriculture ended up in an unfortunate position. Company launches its first lunar LanderOdysseus, in February 2024, Odysseus managed to reach the moon’s surface, but his landing was not so smooth. One of the legs of agriculture may have caught during its descent, which makes him roll over and Eventually lying aside on a rockS The mission works for seven days on the moon’s surface, and thus intuitive machines became the first company to land private land on the moon.

Athens was not so lucky, but there were some separation words for her team. “In the last moments of the mission, Athens is powered. But unexpectedly, Lander woke up for the last time, sending a show that resonates beyond the technology – it was personal, “Altemus writes. “The last data transmission to Athens contained the names of each member of the team of intuitive machines that made the opportunity for their mission.”
