America’s lander landed on the moon, sent a weak signal only once
[ad_1]
The lander of a private American company managed to land on the lunar surface on Thursday, but it sent only once and that too a very weak signal.
Intuitive Machines, which built the spacecraft carrying the lander, confirmed that the lander had landed on the lunar surface, despite poor communication. The company did not reveal anything about the condition of the lander nor did it give the exact location where it landed.
The company stopped live telecast of the lander as soon as it gave information about its landing on the lunar surface. Mission director Tim Crain said the team is working on how to interpret the only signal sent from the lander, named Odysseus.
He said, “But we can confirm without a doubt that our instrument is on the surface of the Moon.” While the company’s Chief Executive Officer Steve Altemus said, “I know the path forward is not clear but we are on the surface and receiving communications. Welcome to the Moon.
