Odysseus moon lander likely has 10 to 20 hours of battery life left, company says

Odysseus, the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon since 1972, has limited battery life and may be unable to collect all of its research data and imagery due to a shortened lunar stint. The Texas-based company, Intuitive Machines, stated that flight controllers are still in contact with the moon lander, which successfully landed near the moon's south pole. The lander experienced a sideways touchdown, resulting in a tipped-over position and limited battery recharge. This mission highlights the risks involved in NASA's strategy of relying on smaller, less-experienced private companies.
