The Moon lander, Odysseus, has officially concluded its mission after just one week on the lunar surface. Before shutting down, it transmitted a final image showing the Moon's landscape, a dark sky, and a small crescent Earth.

NASA has decided to shut down the On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 (OSAM-1) project, a $2 billion satellite refueling program, due to ongoing cost and technical challenges. The decision was made after a thorough review of the project.

The OSAM-1 project, which started in 2015, involved a collaboration between NASA and Maxar, as well as NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
