The Odysseus probe from the American company Intuitive Machines has sent its first images of the south of the Moon. The craft, which measures more than four meters high, landed on the Moon at 11:23 p.m.

GMT on Thursday, a first for the United States in more than 50 years. The device notably transports scientific instruments from NASA, which wishes to explore the South Pole before sending its astronauts there, as part of its Artemis missions. It is a “success with small drawbacks” according to space mission expert Jonathan McDowell.
