Aidian The spacecraft was not blind at all because a week ago approached the lunar level. The software on the board did a reliable task to identify nearby castors, even long shadows on the region. However, Lander’s ultimate failed.
So while Aidian He knew where it was from the surface of the moon, Lander did not know how far it was from the surface.
An important detail, that. As a result, the privately constructed spacecraft hit the shopping surface once, turned, and began to collide all over the level. As he did, the landlord wandered at least once or twice before coming to the stop in a small, shade pit.
In an interview on Thursday, Steve Altimus, chief executive officer of intuitive machines, said, “The landing was like slipping into the other base.”
Cold and lonely
It has been a busy and exhausting week for the chief of a company that seeks to help the development of the lunar economy. Had high expectations for this, the company’s second lunar landing attempt after that Odisis Before the car collapsed, last year, the first private spacecraft was made on the moon.
In some ways, this mission was even more disappointing. Because Aidian Slipped at the lunar level, he developed the regulated. When it comes to talking, some of the materials were blown into the solar panel-which is already ready in a substantial place. The spacecraft’s power reserves, therefore, were limited. Almost Immediately immediately. That is, a team of intuitive machines knew that their spacecraft was dying.
“We knew that we were slightly slightly in the shade pit, and the temperature was very cold,” said Ultimus. “Solar arms were regulated on them, and they were not charged, which was pointed out, enough to provide us with considerable power to provide enough power to give us the heater strength.”
