Other equipment that Intuitive Machines will be carrying for NASA include infrared imaging gear, a payload that will help measure chemical responses to various disturbances created by lunar landings, and optical instruments that will mark lunar landers’ locations on the surface.
Before the 2027 mission to the moon’s south pole, Intuitive Machines will be making follow-up trips to the company’s February 2024 trip. This includes the IM-2 mission, which will carry NASA’s PRIME-1 unit (Polar Resources Ice Mining Equipment), which will be used to search for water ice on the surface.
In 2025, Intuitive Machines will launch its IM-3 mission, where the company hopes they will be able to gather more data that will aid NASA‘s Artemis program.
