The IM-2 lander is believed to have reached the moon's south pole region, but its precise position and location are unclear. Its intended landing area was Mons Mouton, an area believed to have water ice deposits. Here's a look at the mission profile showing the lander's journey from its Feb. 26 launch to today's arrival on the moon:

The mission comes four days after another commercial space company, Firefly Aerospace, successfully landed its spacecraft on the moon.

The latest mission, referred to as IM-2 or PRIME-1, is slated for a moon landing at 11:32 a.m. CT on March 6. Intuitive Machines and NASA will provide live event coverage, starting at 10:30 a.m. CT.
