Intuitive Machines is set to land its second spacecraft on the moon on Thursday, roughly a year after the Houston-based company became the first in history to land a commercial lander intact on the lunar surface – albeit on the vehicle’s side.

History is set to be made on the Moon again this week, with Intuitive Machines' IM-2 mission Nova-C class lunar lander Athena scheduled to land there at 12:32pm ET on Thursday. The big picture: Intuitive Machines has partnered with Lunar Outpost to roll out the first commercial rover on the Moon and with Finnish multinational tech firm Nokia to deliver the first cellular network on Earth's only natural satellite.
