On Wednesday, NASA and SpaceX successfully launched the Intuitive Machines IM-2 mission from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It aims to deliver multiple payloads, including NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer, to detect water on the Moon. The lander, named Athena, will take an eight-day journey to the Moon's South Pole, where it will conduct studies on subsurface materials and volatile substances. Data collected from the mission could inform future Artemis program missions and commercial lunar activities.
