“The goal of #Isaacman is 30 landings in three years”. Only #Firefly’s #BlueGhost 1 mission a year ago was a complete success. The two #IntuitiveMachines landers fell over upon landing. #Astrobotic’s #Peregrine lander malfunctioned hours after launch and was unable to attempt a landing.

There are four #CLPS missions currently scheduled for launch this year: Astrobotic’s Griffin-1, #BlueOrigin’s #BlueMoon Mark 1, Firefly’s Blue Ghost 2 and Intuitive Machines’ #IM3 https://spacenews.com/nasa-considering-sharp-increase-in-robotic-lunar-landings/

From the #LPSC 'NASA Night' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns4sVQ81DiI a list of the next #CLPS missions: NASA will have more Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies (SCALPSS) on #BlueOrigin's HLS test lander. They also reported superb results from #BlueGhost with 6 of the NASA experiments already completed and the remainder being done once the hot noon is over. Not much came out of #Athena, obviously, and they're still trying to make contact with the Lunar Trailblazer - no indication of the hope level ...

I can't remember how many times I've expressed concern about the tall, top heavy @Int_Machines design. But nothing illustrates how significant this factor is than a comparison between the @Firefly_Space & Athena landers.

Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lander, part of NASA's CLPS initiative, has successfully transmitted its first images from space. Scheduled for a lunar touchdown on February 22, this mission marks the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon in over 50 years and the first under NASA's Artemis program. Equipped with six NASA payloads, it aims to gather vital data for future lunar exploration.
