Intuitive Machines looks to park its Athena lunar lander on the moon’s south pole on Thursday on a mission with NASA payloads.

Three rovers and a first-of-its-kind hopping drone. After becoming the first private firm to land on the Moon last year, Intuitive Machines is aiming for its second lunar touchdown on Thursday, carrying cutting-edge payloads to support future human missions.

Intuitive Machines made history last year as the first private company to put a robot on the Moon, although the triumph was marred by the lander tipping onto its side.

The second moon landing by Intuitive Machines appears to have suffered the same fate as its first try last year, with data indicating the Athena lander ended on its side on the lunar surface after problems with its laser rangefinders,

There is a robotic Moon landing happening Thursday. If this feels like déjà vu, it's because a separate lunar lander successfully touched down there just five days ago.

The latest mission, referred to as IM-2 or PRIME-1, is slated for a moon landing at 11:32 a.m. CT on March 6. Intuitive Machines and NASA will provide live event coverage, starting at 10:30 a.m. CT. In the video above, the Athena lander can be seen flying over the lunar south pole near its intended landing site.

Intuitive Machines' Athena moon lander is "alive," but it's not yet known what mission objectives can still be met.

Intuitive Machines appeared to land its second spacecraft on the moon in a closely watched sequel mission Thursday, but the status and orientation of the Houston-based company’s vehicle was unclear.

Intuitive Machines’ second lunar lander to reach the moon’s surface—“Athena”—has powered off after landing sideways on the lunar south pole.

Hopes were high for Intuitive Machines' second lunar landing, but the Athena lander has ended up on its side on the moon's surface.

Intuitive Machines' stock fell sharply after the IM-2 mission failed to land properly, impacting its solar panels and raising concerns about future contracts. Despite the setback, the company's business model shows potential with high-margin opportunities in data transmission and infrastructure, contingent on successful delivery missions.
