Go Athena!⁣ ⁣ IntuitiveMachines’ flight, IM-2, is scheduled to launch on Feb. 26 from NASAKennedy and land at a location near the lunar South Pole. This will be one of the first on site, or in-situ, resource demonstration on the Moon utilizing a drill and mass spectrometer to measure the volatile content of subsurface materials.⁣ ⁣ The IM-2 mission is a part of NASA’s lunar delivery initiative to conduct science on the Moon for the benefit of all, including experiments and tech demos in support of future missions with crew on the lunar surface.⁣ ⁣ Image description: Intuitive Machines’ lunar lander, Athena, is encapsulated inside the payload fairings of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.
