This is like Apollo 13, but for robotic landers. A desperate in-flight fix. Odysseus’ navigation system wasn’t working. So Intuitive Machines swapped it out for an experimental NASA system that just happened to be on board and…it worked. Wild.

Kristin Fisher Yup. This was next level. A real time patch of autonomous landing software to utilize lasers from our NASA Langley Research Center Navigation Doppler Lidar (NDL). All done during that extra sightseeing orbit around the Moon. As a colleague said - This team are founding members of a new club.
