"Private Moon Lander Captures Breathtaking First Images from Space"

Intuitive Machines' Odysseus moon lander, part of NASA's CLPS program, has transmitted its first images from space after launching atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The spacecraft is carrying NASA experiments and private payloads and is set to attempt a historic soft landing on the moon on February 22. Odysseus is using a liquid methane-liquid oxygen engine, similar to SpaceX's Raptor engines, and its successful landing would mark the first time a private spacecraft has landed on the moon.
