The Odysseus robot broke a leg on touchdown but continued to stream data back to Earth
They include a view of the American mission lying to one side, having broken a leg on touchdown.Odysseus made history last Thursday by becoming the first ever privately built vehicle to complete a soft landing on the Moon.
The craft was forced to communicate with Houston via its low-gain antennas. But once controllers got the hang of how the signals were being sent, a broad data stream was established.Nasa's six instruments were focused on testing new navigation technologies and studying the surface conditions at the landing site.
"We went from basically a cocktail straw of data coming back to a boba tea-sized straw of data coming back."Because of the way its solar cells are pointing, they're going to lose sight of the Sun and that will deny the battery of charge. Nasa regards the CLPS approach as a more economical way of getting its science done, while at the same time seeding what it hopes will become a thriving lunar economy.
