The IM-2 lander is believed to have reached the moon's south pole region, but its precise position and location are unclear.

Perseverance, which landed in the Jezero Crater in 2021, has already collected samples of ancient river sediments. Now, the rover is climbing to higher elevations in search of new geological clues.

Commercial company Intuitive Machines is attempting to land a probe near the lunar south pole. If successful, it will be the second time a private company has landed on the moon in less than a week.

The moon lander Athena made it to the lunar surface, but its condition and exact location remain unclear, Intuitive Machines and NASA confirmed.
