Intuitive Machines
Earlier today, Intuitive Machines' Athena lunar lander successfully entered her intended circular orbit around the Moon! Flight controllers expect Athena to complete 39 orbits until her landing site at the lunar South Pole's Mons Mouton region has adequate sunlight to power surface operations by the Intuitive Machines (IM)-2 spacecraft.
IM-2 operations will last for about 10 days on the lunar surface.
Intuitive Machines expects a landing attempt to be performed this Thursday, March 6, at 11:32 a.m. CST (9:32 a.m. PST). Live landing coverage is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. CST / 8:30 a.m. PST on the IM-2 mission page and NASA+. Stay tuned!
