Yesterday Intuitive Machines attempted to touch down on the Moon for a second time. Unfortunately, just like the first attempt, it landed but tipped over, leaving it on its side. To make matters worse, due to its exact landing location and its relation to the sun and temperatures, the lander is out of power and not expected to recharge, effectively ending the mission.
This means practically all the payloads aboard that were hoping to gather data and conduct surface operations will not be able to.
