The status of Lunar Lander Unknown after addressing the moon

A lunar the lunar made her touch on the moon earlier Thursday, but the controllers on the ground could not confirm the state of the Athena Lander at landing, reported the Associated Press. In addition to its condition, the location of where the job landed is not clear either.

The Lander, which belongs to intuitive machines, wore an ice exercise, a drone and two Rovers. Athena has apparently been able to communicate with her controllers, the Associated Press reported, citing civil servants.

The director of the mission and co-founder Tim Crain was intended to tell the team to “continue to work on the problem”, despite sending “thanks” to the team to Texas.

Athena is the second job to land on the moon this week after Blue Ghost by Firefly Aerospace made a touch on Sunday.

“You have all stuck the landing. We are on the Moon,” said Coogan, Firefly chief engineer. The landing of Blue Ghost made Firefly Aerospace the first private enterprise to put a spacecraft on the moon without it crashed or falls.
