A second intuitive cars spacecraft just landed in the moon – and probably overlapped

Intuitive machines lowered a second spacecraft per month, just a year later feat For the first time. Unfortunately, as this first attempt, the company’s spacecraft may have slipped on its side.

Athena, Aysar Lander, woven on Thursday at 12:30 to the moon surface. Firefly Aerospace Blue dream is the second private spacecraft to go down this week after touching down on March 2.

The head technology staff of intuitive machines, Atrena’s ATrena’s Motene Mouton is in a press conference in a 20-meter zone in a 50-meter descent zone, in a place where the moon is inside a flat overlap in the South Pole. But he said that the company was still working to determine where Athena touches.

CEO Steve Altemus added that the company did not think that Athena is a “right relationship” – SpaceFlight talks to “Probably hit it on top”.

Altemus, in other ways, this said that last year’s visit to the moon.

The rest of the Athens mission is already hanging in the balance sheet. On February 26, a SpaceX Falcon has a number of technologies hoping to test intuitive cars for a spacex Falcon 9 missile.

One is a passive laser retroorflector series, which hopes to use to communicate with other incoming or orbit space ships. It is an important piece of technology for the hope of building a NASA permanent monthly basis – Space Agency Intuitive cars have signed a $ 4.8 billion contract Last year to create a communication system last year. ($ 150 million is guaranteed.)

Athens also hopes that the agency has been in a month to determine whether there is enough natural resources in a month or a ice mining experience that determines whether it is an oxygen in a day.

Additional freight loads include a rover called MAPP that is likely to try mobile equipment from Nokia and Solid State Storage Sent as the first “AYSAR Data Center”.
