在这张由直觉机器公司Nova-C月球着陆器上的相机拍摄的广角照片中，甲基甲苯火箭发动机点火，奥德修斯的着陆腿首次与月球表面接触。在2月22日着陆后，在图像中可以看到，断裂的着陆腿最终使着陆器静止但倾斜。奥德修斯轻轻地倾斜到倾斜的月球表面，保留了电话亭大小的着陆器的运行能力，收集太阳能，并将图像和数据传回地球。美国宇航局的月球勘测轨道飞行器拍摄到了它在月球极南区的确切着陆点。由美国宇航局捐赠，着陆器中央面板上的美国国旗是1970年阿波罗计划的飞行硬件。

Methalox rocket engine firing, Odysseus' landing legs absorb first contact with the lunar surface in this wide-angle snapshot from a camera on board the robotic Intuitive Machines Nova-C moon lander. Following the landing on February 22, broken landing legs, visible in the image, ultimately left the lander at rest but tilted. Odysseus' gentle lean into a sloping lunar surface preserved the phone booth-sized lander's ability to operate, collect solar power, and return images and data to Earth. Its exact landing site in the Moon's far south polar region was imaged by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Donated by NASA, the American flag seen on the lander's central panel is 1970 Apollo program flight hardware.
