A robotic moon lander is about to launch on a SpaceX rocket. It's the second lunar mission for a private company that last year became the first to successfully land on the moon’s surface.

Intuitive Machines designed and will operate the Athena lunar lander on the company's second voyage to the moon's south pole to hunt for water.

The Blue Ghost lunar lander, operated by Texas-based Firefly Aerospace, is days away from making an attempt to land on the moon, 450-km away from Chandrayaan-3’s landing site
