I know it’s just a reflection buts it’s really funny to think that Columbia heard the lander tipped over and asked that their branding be removed in all images 😭
Flight Controllers continue to communicate with Odysseus. This morning, Odysseus efficiently sent payload science data and imagery in furtherance of the Company’s mission objectives. Flight controllers are working on final determination of battery life on the lander, which may
