The American Nova-C module fell on its side during landing on the Moon - this interferes with communication with Earth

The condition of the first American module Nova-C to land on the Moon in more than 50 years is gradually becoming clearer. As the head of the company that developed the device said, apparently, the module lies on its side with both communication antennas down. One of the two solar panels faces away from the sun, but the other appears to be capable of generating power. A number of mistakes made during the final assembly of the module could have led to this state of affairs. The Intuitive Machines chapter shows the likely position of the lander on the lunar surface.
