The Texan company Intuitive Machines succeeded on Thursday, February 22, in the first moon landing of an American probe in more than 50 years. The Nova-C lander, which notably transports NASA scientific instruments, measures a little over four meters high.
Several companies - Israeli, Japanese and American - have so far failed to reproduce the same feat. India and Japan recently managed to land there thanks to their national space agencies, becoming the fourth and fifth countries to do so, after the Soviet Union, the United States and China.
