NASA awarded Intuitive Machines a second contract to deliver research, including three technology demonstrations, to the moon. IM-2's primary objectives include deploying NASA's TRIDENT Drill and MSolo mass spectrometer to delve up to 1 meter beneath the lunar surface, demonstrating the processes required to discover life-sustaining volatiles like water and CO2.Additionally, the mission introduces innovative mobility capabilities with Intuitive Machines' Micro Nova Hopper named Grace, enabling up to 2 kilometers of traversal from the lander, along with detailed surface imaging and the potential for crater exploration. Complementing these advancements, a rover equipped with with Nokia's Lunar Surface Communications System will test high-speed, long-range communication solutions tailored for future space applications, further expanding the mission's technological repertoire.
