On Feb. 22, Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lander, called Odysseus, completed a seven-day journey to lunar orbit and softly landed near crater Malapert A in the South Pole region of the Moon at 6:24 p.m. EST. On Feb. 24, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft passed over the landing site at an altitude of about 56 miles (90 km) and photographed Odysseus.

=>ISRO crashed down the debris of its satellite:  

ISRO’s high-resolution imaging satellite Cartosat-2 has descended into Earth’s atmosphere on February 14, 2024.“Cartosat-2, ISRO’s high-resolution imaging satellite, bid adieu with a descent into Earth’s atmosphere on February 14, 2024, as predicted. ISRO had lowered its orbit from 635 km to 380 km by early 2020. This strategic move minimized space debris and underscores ISRO’s commitment to sustainable space exploration,” the space agency posted
