Unlike humans, Nova-C class lunar landers require more than one spine to provide a sturdy core structure. How many spines can you spot in this photo? #IM2
The sun doesn’t shine on parts of the Moon. Scientists believe those permanently shaded regions contain water ice below the lunar surface. To potentially discover water ice, IM-2 is taking NASA’s Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 to the lunar south pole to robotically…
Let's celebrate #EarthDay with a #GlobalSelfie from Odie. Our Blue Marble's precious water holds the keys to life, and our IM-2 mission will search for water ice on our nearest neighbor, the Moon.
Intuitive Machines’ Micro Nova is a miniature Nova-C lander designed to search for water ice in permanently shaded regions of the Moon. Affectionately known as “The Hopper,” the spacecraft is designed to carry 8 kg of payloads up to 25 km from the IM-2 mission landing site.
Our first-of-its-kind vision processing and autonomous landing technology landed within 9.9 degrees from the Moon’s south pole. Massive craters, steep slopes, and difficult lighting conditions mark this ominous region of the Moon. Odie snapped this “delta position” image during…
Late Breaking News on the pioneering #Intuitive Machines mission with Jack Fischer, Vice President, Production & Operations at Intuitive Machines @Int_Machines Dr. Kam Ghaffarian Chief Executive Officer and Founder of IBX @weareibx and Morgan Brennan, @CNBC Anchor
If you're at the Space Symposium, join us at the International Center today at 2:15 p.m. MDT. @CNBC anchor @MorganLBrennan will discuss the IM-1 mission, our next trip to the Moon, and the lunar economy with @Astro2fish and Dr. Kam Ghaffarian.
So long, #TotalSolarEclipse2024 , see you again in 2044. 📸: Ethan Martin
Where are you viewing the #TotalSolarEclipse from today? Remember to wave at Odie! 👋🌑☀️ 📸: NASA/Bill Dunford May 20, 2012
NASA has awarded Intuitive Machines $30 million as a prime contractor to complete a Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract. The company’s global Moon RACER team will be tasked with creating a feasibility roadmap to develop and deploy a Lunar Terrain Vehicle on the Moon using…
Between the trajectory and the number of orbits around the Moon, Odysseus traveled the equivalent of two and a half times the distance to the lunar surface, a total of around 600,000 miles. We expect our IM-2 mission to travel approximately the same distance.

The IM-1 mission achieved a historic landing farther south on the Moon than any vehicle ever has, laying the groundwork for our second mission. IM-2 targets the Moon’s south pole at the Shackleton Connecting Ridge to search for water ice that future missions could potentially…
The IM-1 mission fundamentally changed the economics of landing on the Moon and opened the door for a robust, thriving cislunar economy in the future. It achieved the intractable technical challenges of landing on the Moon through a fixed-price performance contract in a…
Over the past weeks, three engineering teams have continued to review mission data. Team One is organizing all of the data received from the lunar surface into a repository to make it easily accessible. Team Two is reconstructing the mission by reviewing each system and…
Four things could only be tested in space by the IM-1 mission. These successfully flight-tested items provide a strong foundation for the company’s next missions to the lunar surface. 1. A fully loaded liquid oxygen and liquid methane vehicle through launch 2. Free flight control…
Our official IM-1 mission ended on February 29th, as Odie was not designed to survive the Moon’s harsh temperatures without sunlight. While we wait for the possibility of hearing from Odie once the sun shines on the solar panels prior to the end of the month, watch our mission…

Still kicking, Odysseus continues to operate on the lunar surface. At approximately 1100 CST flight controllers intend to downlink additional data and command Odie into a configuration that he may phone home if and when he wakes up when the sun rises again. (29FEB2024 0922 CST)

Is nice to look at the full moon tonight and know that an intrepid team from private industry, with support from NASA, is in contact with a spacecraft on the surface . It wasn't the Apollo moment I remember as a kid, but certainly portends a provocative future. @Int_Machines
Congrats on landing on the moon!
After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.
Imagine you built an experimental payload and it is going on a test ride to the Moon. Then the spacecraft engineers ask if they can use your *payload* to *navigate* for *lunar landing*, something never planned for, and they write a software patch in lunar orbit, and it WORKS🔥
Wow i just took a moment - we really sent something on a rocket that we built out to space and it landed on the MOON 🤯 wow, just wow 🚀🌖
Odysseus has touched down! For the first time in 50+ years, the US has returned to the lunar surface. Congrats to @Int_Machines for this historic achievement, as well as @SpaceX, @NASA, & all others involved. This feat paves the way for human missions! houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
Congratulations to fellow CLPS company, @Int_Machines! An incredible achievement. We can't wait to join you on the lunar surface in the near future. 🌙
Your order was delivered… to the Moon! 📦 @Int_Machines' uncrewed lunar lander landed at 6:23pm ET (2323 UTC), bringing NASA science to the Moon's surface. These instruments will prepare us for future human exploration of the Moon under #Artemis.
