Intuitive Machines' IM-2 lunar lander reached the moon, but its status is unclear
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:
Intuitive Machines aimed for a gentle touchdown of its IM-2 Athena lander packed with rovers, a drone and a NASA moon drill. The company is still assessing the landing.
Firefly Aerospace landed a craft safely last week, a first for a private company. The status of Intuitive Machines’ lander is unknown.
