直觉机器公司的机器人着陆器奥德修斯完成了自1972年阿波罗17号任务以来美国首次登陆月球。这个电话亭大小的着陆器于2月15日由SpaceX火箭发射，于21日进入月球轨道，并于美国东部时间2月22日下午6点23分在月球表面着陆。着陆器的着陆点位于月球南极以北约300公里处，靠近一个名为马拉珀特a的陨石坑。着陆器目前正在收集太阳能，并将数据传回直觉机器公司位于休斯顿的任务控制中心。这次任务标志着首次商业无人登月。在着陆之前，奥德修斯的相机在距离着陆点约200公里的Schomberger陨石坑上空拍摄了这张极端广角的照片（右图中可以看到着陆腿）。奥德修斯当时还在离月球表面10公里的地方。

Intuitive Machines' robotic lander Odysseus has accomplished the first U.S. landing on the Moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Launched on a SpaceX rocket on February 15, the phone booth sized lander reached lunar orbit on the 21st and touched down on the lunar surface at 6:23 pm ET on February 22nd. Its landing region is about 300 kilometers north of the Moon's south pole, near a crater designated Malapert A. Resting on its side, the lander is presently collecting solar power and transmitting data back to the Intuitive Machines' mission control center in Houston. The mission marks the first commercial uncrewed landing on the Moon. Prior to landing, Odysseus’ camera captured this extreme wide angle image (landing legs visible at right) as it flew over Schomberger crater some 200 kilometers from its landing site. Odysseus was still about 10 kilometers above the lunar surface.
