CLPS Landing: Intuitive Machines (IM-2)

Intuitive Machines’ second awarded flight, IM-2, is scheduled to land in Mons Mouton, a plateau in the Moon’s South Pole. This will be the first on site, or in-situ, resource utilization demonstration on the Moon utilizing a drill and mass spectrometer to measure the volatile content of subsurface materials.

Part of the agency’s broader Artemis campaign, CLPS aims to conduct science on the Moon for the benefit of all, including experiments and demos that support missions with crew on the lunar surface.
