"The Lunar Landing Conundrum: Mastering Upright Touchdowns"

Two spacecraft, the Odysseus lander and the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, have recently tipped over during lunar landings, limiting their scientific capabilities due to misaligned antennas and solar panels. The weaker gravity on the moon makes it easier for spacecraft to topple over, prompting questions about the design choices and engineering challenges involved in landing upright on the lunar surface.
