Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 03-06-2025 04:56 PM collectSPACE <blockquote><font size="+0"><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-030625a-intuitivie-machines-im2-athena-moon-landing.html">Intuitive Machines' Athena lands on moon, but 'yet again' at off-nominal angle</a></font> [i]For the second time in a little over a year, Intuitive Machines has landed a commercial spacecraft on the moon. And, for the second time, that touchdown has left the lander functioning, but at an "off-nominal" angle. Intuitive Machines, which in February 2024 achieved the first private soft landing on the moon, seemingly repeated its success on Thursday (March 6). "Any time that you ship a spacecraft to Florida for flight and end up a week later operating on the moon, I declare that a success," Steve Altemus, chief executive officer at Intuitive Machines, said in a post-landing press conference at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. "Now, we think that we have been very successful to this point, however, I do have to tell you that we don't believe we are in the correct attitude on the surface of the moon yet again."[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-030625a-intuitivie-machines-im2-athena-moon-landing.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-030625gg-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center>
