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.?

Athena sent the first IM-2 images from space shortly after liftoff from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida while traveling approximately 24,000 miles per hour. Athena used four super-wide field of view public affairs cameras to take pictures every minute for 30 minutes after separating from SpaceX’s second stage. Then, Athena took photos every 5 minutes for the next hour. Follow along for mission updates: https://bit.ly/3F0yRu9 ?

UPDATE from Intuitive Machines Mission to the Moon: The #IM2 Athena lunar lander is approximately halfway to the Moon and continues to communicate with our flight controllers in Houston. Our flight controllers are preparing for the mission’s next milestones, Trajectory Correction Maneuvers (TCM). TCMs are intended to refine Athena’s trajectory ahead of lunar orbit insertion.
