The company reached the lunar surface in 2024, and now its Athena lander aims to improve on the feat. Three other spacecraft are also flying on the SpaceX rocket.

Houston-based Intuitive Machines’ second moon lander launched Wednesday evening from Florida atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Intuitive Machines calls its lander a Nova-C class vehicle. This specific lander also has a specific name: Athena. And the entire mission that Intuitive Machines is running, putting Athena on the moon to deliver cargo and beam back data to Earth, is called the IM-2 (for Intuitive Machines' second landing) mission.
