Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 02-18-2024 07:56 PM Intuitive Machines update <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]IM-1 Mission Maneuvers and Events Update[/b]</font> Odysseus continues to be in excellent health, and flight controllers are preparing planned trajectory correction maneuvers to prepare the lander for lunar orbit insertion. Since the IM-1 Mission launched on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, flight controllers on the Company's red, white, and blue teams have been learning more about the lander and how to efficiently fly the mission to return the United States to the surface of the Moon. February 17th, Intuitive Machines published the first IM-1 Mission images, capturing Earth in the background as Odysseus drifted away toward the Moon. Payload Integration Managers programmed the lander's wide and narrow field of view cameras to take five quick images every five minutes for two hours, starting 100 seconds after separating from SpaceX's second stage. Out of all the images collected, Intuitive Machines chose to show humanity's place in the universe with four wonderful images we hope to inspire the next generation of risk-takers. Looking forward, Intuitive Machines expects to execute lunar orbit insertion on February 21st, with a lunar landing opportunity on the afternoon of the 22nd. We intend to stream the landing on the Intuitive Machines IM-1 Mission web page and announce the exact landing time tomorrow as Columbia Sportswear takes over the exterior of Sphere in Las Vegas, showcasing the role Omni-Heat Infinity technology is playing in the IM-1 Mission. Again, Odysseus continues to be in excellent health, and flight controllers are preparing planned trajectory correction maneuvers to prepare the lander for lunar orbit insertion. We expect to continue to provide mission updates at least once a day on X and the IM-1 Mission webpage.</blockquote>
