A robotic lander named Athena is expected to make its final descent to the moon’s south pole on Thursday .

The 15-foot -tall robotic spacecraft is almost identical to another private U.S. company that landed on the moon in February 2024 .

If successful, this would mark the closest landing to the lunar south pole than any previous spacecraft.
