'I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills...
...Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way...'

Good night Odysseus.😴
Alongside our colleagues CSIRO_ATNF #Murriyang Parkes, we supported communications for Intuitive Machines mission to become the first commercial spacecraft to land on the Moon. We were also proud to provide comms for NASA's Lunar Node 1 payload.

Bylo nám ctí, že nás dnes navštívil ministr Jan Lipavský a velvyslanec Tyrer. 🇨🇿

We were honored to have Minister Jan Lipavský and Ambassador Tyrer visit us today.🇦🇺

Outstanding work over the past week since launch by the team at #Murriyang , CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope. Now the mission begins. Can't wait to see what you start receiving from #Odysseus on the Moon tonight.📡🌖
Plus, NASA's Lunar Node 1 data will be received by CanberraDSN 📡.

WOW! That was intense.😱

Congratulations Intuitive Machines🥳
We are over the Moon!🌖
#Odysseus #NovaC
Still a long way to go, but incredibly happy for the entire team, and the network around the world.

UPDATE: Intuitive Machines has decided to go around the Moon on more time. Landing now destined for 10:24am AEDT, Friday 23rd.

UPDATE: Landing time now estimated for 8:24am AEDT, Friday 23rd. More data coming down from the spacecraft is refining the landing time.
