Images From Conference
mage Thread: The IM-1 Mission successfully landed the first spacecraft on the Moon's south pole region, marking the United States' first return since Apollo 17 and the first commercial lunar lander to transmit valuable science data of each NASA payload from the lunar surface. In addition, the operation of the Company's liquid methane and liquid oxygen propulsion system in deep space is flight-proven through successful mission operations. Intuitive Machines achieved these marquee accomplishments in the Company's first attempt to land on the Moon.https://intuitivemachines.com/im-1
This image illustrates Odysseus' landing strut performing its primary task, absorbing first contact with the lunar surface to preserve mission integrity. Meanwhile, the lander's liquid methane and liquid oxygen engine is still throttling, which provided stability. The Company believes the two insights from this image enabled Odysseus to gently lean into the lunar surface, preserving the ability to return scientific data.
Taken on February 27th, flight controllers commanded Odysseus to capture a new image using its narrow-field-of-view camera. Previous attempts to send photos from landing and the days following returned unusable imagery. After successfully transmitting the image to Earth, flight controllers received additional insight into Odysseus' position on the lunar surface.

买跌不追涨 : But the price is diving
MannyRo OP 买跌不追涨 : Unfortunately many people do not see this mission as a success. It's understandable... they don't see the bigger picture.
