IM-2 was a robotic lunar landing mission operated by Intuitive Machines as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. The Nova-C lander, named Athena, reached the surface of the Moon on 6 March 2025. Contact was temporarily lost during the landing process; when it was re-established, data indicated the spacecraft was not in the correct orientation and one of the two radio antennas was not operating. The sideways orientation prevented the spacecraft from generating sufficient power. By 7 March, Athena's power had been fully depleted and was not expected to replenish, bringing the mission to its end.
