Intuitive Machines' Athena lander has successfully reached the moon, marking the second U.S. lunar touchdown this week. However, its exact orientation remains unclear. The spacecraft is intact, generating power, and transmitting data, though energy concerns have prompted system shutdowns. Mission control is assessing the lander's status and awaiting images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Despite challenges, CEO Steve Altemus considers the landing a success. The team is working with NASA to prioritize science objectives and determine the mission's next steps.
