A robotic spacecraft is expected to touch down on the moon’s surface Thursday night, in what will mark the United States’s first uncrewed commercial moon landing.
The autonomous lander, called Odysseus, launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 last Thursday.
It was created by the company Intuitive Machines and is part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services, which includes a series of private contracts between NASA and U.S. companies to deliver materials to the lunar surface.
The lander has a variety of scientific instruments . . .
