The Nova-C unmanned spacecraft, developed by the US-based company Intuitive Machines and launched into orbit with SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket last week, successfully landed on the Moon’s surface within the scope of the IM-1 mission. The spacecraft, which was loaded with NASA’s scientific and technological payloads, touched the Moon surface at 23:24 UTC, and its first signal reached Earth after about 15 minutes. Nova-C has been the first private spacecraft to land on the Moon.
A ferry traveling from Java to Bali sank off Indonesia’s coast, killing at least 4 people, with 31 still missing and 30 rescued. The “KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya” ferry capsized around 12:50 AM local time. Videos shared by passengers showed the vessel taking on water before sinking. Authorities confirmed 65 people were on board, including 12 crew. Search efforts are ongoing with support from rescue ships and rubber boats. Maritime accidents are common in Indonesia due to poor safety standards and rough weather during the monsoon season.
