Moon lander pictured on its side with snapped leg
Yesterday, an image released by NASA showed the moon lander lying on its side with one of its legs snapped off. The lander, which had successfully landed on the moon earlier this week, encountered an unexpected issue during a routine checkup.
According to NASA officials, the lander was in the process of being moved to a new location when the accident occurred. The cause of the snapped leg is still under investigation, but initial reports suggest that a malfunction in the landing gear may have been to blame.
Despite this setback, NASA remains optimistic about the future of the mission. Engineers are already working on a plan to stabilize the lander and continue with the scheduled activities.
