Lunar lander powers down after missing its intended mark, failing to recharge.

Private lunar lander, carrying a suite of NASA science equipment, may arrive at the moon’s south pole as soon as Thursday.

Lunar lander ‘Athena’ will conduct NASA space investigations and technology demonstrations on the moon.

Telemetry from the Nova-C moon lander will end as it conducts a ‘quiet power down,’ Intuitive Machines said.

Flight controllers believe the Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lander tipped over on its side.

Intuitive Machines’ uncrewed autonomous lunar lander touched down on the moon’s surface at 6:23 p.m. EST.

Intuitive Machines on Thursday morning updates the expected landing time for the Nova-C lander.

The lunar lander is now closer to the moon than the end-to-end distance driving across Houston, nicknamed ‘Space City,’ according to Intuitive Machines.

The IM-1 mission represents the first U.S. lunar landing in more than 50 years.
