💨 Abstract

Intuitive Machines' robotic Athena lander successfully landed on the moon's surface, but its status and orientation remain unclear. This is the company's second lunar landing attempt, following a hard landing last year due to a faulty laser altimeter. The lander, carrying 11 payloads and scientific instruments, targeted a site near the lunar south pole. The company ended its live stream and scheduled a press conference for 4pm ET.
