Odysseus (Lunar Lander)

[monogroover]

Odysseus passes the near side of the Moon yesterday. Should land near the Lunar South Pole at about 11:24pm UK time tonight. Will be streamed on NASA TV and if successful, will be the first soft landing on the Moon by a commercially manufactured and operated vehicle, and the first American soft landing there since Apollo 17.

There is however a little watch content... Possibly the first mechanical wristwatch (or at least part of) on the moon since the 70's?

Barrelhand have sent a micro engraved caseback from their prototype Monolith watch on the Odysseus lander: https://watchesbysjx.com/2024/02/bar...-machines.html
