Artemis and Other General Space Exploration

Intuitive Machines is having another Odysseus press conference with NASA. Despite the post-landing tip over and resulting low speed of data transfer (the high gain antennae are apparently pointing at the ground), the payloads have been operating just fine and everyone seems to be generally happy with the science returned.

The moment the landing leg broke.

There are issues with the SCALPS payload (that may or may not be a result of the tip over) so the science from that is reduced. The Eagle Cam was finally ejected, but there are issues with its WiFi signal and they are still struggling to pull the image data from it.
