Intuitive Machines Lander Lands Wonky on Moon, Mission Ends

  • Intuitive Machines' Athena lander touched down on the Moon on March 2, but landed on its side instead of upright, ending its science operations prematurely.
  • The lander was about 820 feet from its intended target and experienced power generation issues due to its position, according to Intuitive Machines.
  • The mission was part of NASA's effort to involve private companies in lunar exploration, despite previous lander failures like Russia's Luna-25.
  • Intuitive Machines confirmed the landing was the southernmost lunar landing ever achieved, despite facing similar challenges as their previous mission.
