Odysseus lunar lander has made history by becoming the first private probe to land on the moon.

It also became the first US-made spacecraft to land on the moon in five decades.

Odysseus was developed by Houston-based Intuitive Machines.

‘Houston, Odysseus has found its new home,’ said Intuitive Machines president and CEO Stephen Altemus just after the landing at 5.23pm CT.

Odysseus achieved success a month after the American Peregrine spacecraft attempted to make a lunar landing but caught fire in the atmosphere and fell back to Earth.
