[b]Planned Trajectory Correction Maneuvers Complete Ahead of Lunar Orbit Insertion[/b] Intuitive Machines flight controllers commanded the IM-1 mission's second planned Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) with enough precision to eliminate the need for the initially planned third TCM engine firing. Today's TCM fired at 1400 CST for 8 seconds, and it is the final maneuver before Odysseus' largest challenge to date, Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI), scheduled for February 21, 2024. Odysseus continues to be in excellent health and is approximately 68,000 km from the Moon. Over the next several hours, flight controllers will continue to analyze the flight data ahead of LOI.
