description IM-2 Overview

IM-2 was a lunar mission conducted by Intuitive Machines under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program in 2025. Its Athena lander was sent toward Mons Mouton, a mountainous region near the Moon's south polar area, with instruments intended to investigate the lunar surface and help assess the presence of water ice. After landing, Athena tipped onto its side, limiting the mission's ability to operate as planned while still allowing some data collection from the lunar surface.
