The last time Intuitive Machines landed a spacecraft on the moon , a year ago , it ended up sideways.

The company's newest Athena lander dropped out of lunar orbit as planned, carrying an ice drill, a drone and two rovers for NASA and others.

The hourlong descent appeared to go well, but it took a while for Mission Control to confirm touchdown.
