Front-row seat to the Moon—next stop, the surface!
Athena continues to be in excellent health in lunar orbit. Overnight, flight controllers calibrated Athena’s landing navigation cameras, which are designed to autonomously track her position and detect hazards during landing.
These image sequences are from a separate public affairs camera. The first 20 second sequence, taken during an eclipse is over the Moon's south pole region, near her intended landing site, Mons Mouton—one of NASA's designated human landing sites for the Artemis campaign.
The second sequence is made up of 240 images taken over a mid-latitude region over a 10-minute span. Each image is shown as 2 frames in this sequence.
Athena is still targeting a landing opportunity on March 6 at 11:32 a.m. CST.
Effective March 3rd, Intuitive Machines appoints executive leader James J. Frelk as Senior Vice President, Data Services.

Joined by legendary NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz, Intuitive Machines flight controllers commanded Athena’s third and final planned Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) at 12:18 p.m. CST on March 2 to refine the lander’s trajectory ahead of Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI).
Athena is now prepared for her scheduled March 3 LOI maneuver, the longest main engine firing to date. She continues to be in excellent health.
The American flag mounted to Athena’s side closeout panel was cleaned for flight service on March 2, 1970, during the height of the Apollo program. While this NASA-donated flag never left Earth during the Apollo missions, Athena is continuing the tradition established by Odysseus, carrying the Apollo-era American flag on her journey to the lunar surface.
After liftoff on February 26, Athena established a stable attitude, solar charging, and radio communications contact with our mission operations center in Houston. The lander is in excellent health, sending selfies, and preparing for a series of planned main engine firings to refine her trajectory ahead of lunar orbit insertion, planned on March 3. Intuitive Machines is targeting a lunar landing opportunity on March 6.
Intuitive Machines intends to continue publishing mission updates on X and the IM-2 mission webpage.
