Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]Intuitive Machines update <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]IM-1 Mission Engine Commissioning Update[/b]</font> Intuitive Machines flight controllers successfully fired the first liquid methane and liquid oxygen engine in space, completing the IM-1 mission engine commissioning. This engine firing included a full thrust mainstage engine burn and throttle down-profile necessary to land on the Moon. Over the next eight hours, flight controllers will analyze the engine burn data collected from over 270,000 km away from Earth. This represents another first for Intuitive Machines, demonstrating one of the critical technologies required to land softly on the surface of the Moon. The IM-1 mission Nova-C class lunar lander continues to be in excellent health, in a stable orientation and remains on schedule for a lunar landing opportunity on the afternoon of February 22.</blockquote>[/B][/QUOTE]
