US Private Moon Mission: The success of India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission has inspired other countries and space agencies of the world to send missions to the Moon. The special thing is that till now no private company has been able to land a mission on the moon. First Israel tried, then Japan failed. Recently an American company also failed. Now once again an America based company is moving towards the moon. Intuitive Machines’ lunar lander Odysseus was launched recently with the help of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.

The name of this mission is IM-1, under which a spacecraft named Nova-C has set out to land on the moon. Its picture has surfaced, in which the spacecraft and the Earth can be seen in its background. According to the information, this picture was taken when the satellite had just separated from the second stage of the Falcon-9 rocket.

Intuitive Machines successfully transmitted its first IM-1 mission images to Earth on February 16, 2024. The images were captured shortly after separation from @SpaceX‘s second stage on Intuitive Machines’ first journey to the Moon under @NASA‘s CLPS initiative. pic.twitter.com/9LccL6q5tF
