Ghe Intuitive Machines website:
https://www.intuitivemachines.com/ has just undergone a redesign, making it much more useful in advance of its first mission. There is a list of payloads: https://www.intuitivemachines.com/_files/ug...34a345969ab.pdf and clearly it is being set up to support the upcoming flight. No word still on landing sites, but I am thinking they are probably keeping several in play until the launch, so a delay of a day or two in launch allows them to shift to the west to maintain an early morning landing. If that is the case it makes sense to start in the west (Crisium) so later landings can go to Serenitatis or Aristarchus Plateau as needed. Basically the same strategy as the first Apollo landings used. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
