US company Intuitive Machines has said goodbye to its lunar lander. "Odysseus" had made a "farewell transmission" with the last reserves of its batteries.

The robot could wake up again in two to three weeks when the sun reaches its location again. NASA has used a large part of it with research equipment and other material, while commercial companies have secured the rest for their projects. The mission is part of NASA's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) program.
