Private Odysseus lunar lander heads for the moon after SpaceX launch

The groundbreaking private moon mission is progressing successfully.

The robotic Odysseus moon lander, constructed by Houston-based company Intuitive Machines, was launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket early this morning (Feb. 15) from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The launch proceeded seamlessly, and as intended, Odysseus initiated its autonomous operations.
