  • Intuitive Machines-2 Lunar Landing (Official NASA Broadcast)

    Intuitive Machines-2 Lunar Landing (Official NASA Broadcast)

    Watch Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lunar lander, Athena, touch down on the Moon. Athena will land at Mons Mouton, a lunar plateau near the Moon’s South Pole, delivering NASA science and technology to the Moon’s surface. Landing is slated for no earlier than 12:30 p.m. EST (1730 UTC).

    The NASA tech aboard the lander will demonstrate resource utilization on the Moon by measuring the possible presence of volatiles or gases from lunar soil and give future spacecraft a permanent reference point on the lunar surface.

    This is Intuitive Machines’ second Moon landing as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. To learn more about CLPS, visit https://go.nasa.gov/3RFR0A5.

    Intuitive Machines-2 Launch to the Moon (Official NASA Broadcast)

    Watch Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C Moon lander and NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer lift off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. IM-2 is scheduled to launch at 7:16 p.m. EST (0016 UTC Feb. 27).

    The lander, named Athena, will carry NASA science and technology to the Moon’s surface. Athena will orbit the Moon for approximately three days before landing at Mons Mouton, a lunar plateau near the Moon’s South Pole.

    The NASA tech aboard the lander will demonstrate resource utilization on the Moon by measuring the possible presence of volatiles or gases from lunar soil and give future spacecraft a permanent reference point on the lunar surface.

    Launching as a rideshare with the IM-2 delivery, NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft also will begin its journey to lunar orbit, where it will map the distribution of the different forms of water on the Moon.

    This is Intuitive Machines’ second launch to the Moon as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. To learn more about CLPS, visit https://go.nasa.gov/3RFR0A5.

    Intuitive Machines-2: Delivering Science and Tech to the Moon (NASA Mission Trailer)

    The Intuitive Machines-2 mission is set to launch the company’s lunar lander, Athena, to the Moon. Athena will carry NASA science experiments and technology demonstrations to help us understand the Moon’s environment, and prepare for future human missions to the lunar surface.

    One piece of tech aboard, the Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment 1 (PRIME-1), is one of the first on-site demonstrations of resource use on the Moon. PRIME-1 will take a lunar soil sample and analyze it to see if it contains water ice.

    NASA, Intuitive Machines Moon Mission Update

    NASA and Intuitive Machines give an update from Johnson Space Center in Houston to highlight the company’s first mission, known as IM-1.

    The lander, called Odysseus, carried six NASA science instruments to the South Pole region of the Moon as part of the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, and Artemis campaign. The IM-1 mission is the first U.S. soft landing on the Moon in more than 50 years, successfully landing on Feb. 22, 2024.

    Participants in the news conference include:

    • Joel Kearns, deputy associate administrator, Exploration, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters in Washington
    • Sue Lederer, CLPS project scientist, NASA Johnson
    • Steve Altemus, chief executive officer and co-founder, Intuitive Machines
    • Tim Crain, chief technology officer and co-founder, Intuitive Machines
