The intuitive machine, a Texas company that returned from America last year, aims to repeat it. In addition to helping you find resources, this time we will deliver the first cell service to the moon.
Currently, there are two independent private Luner missions, and the intuitive machine is in the third halfway through the launch of the Nova-C Lander to Moons on Wednesday.
The Houston-based company made history last year when the first Nova-C Lander landed on the moon, marking its first US landing since the 1972 Apollo 17 and its first private moon arrival.
SpaceX and the intuitive machine are targeting a lift-off from 7:16pm (NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida).
NASA is one of the customers with payloads in Athena, but is launching a ride-sharing mission with SpaceX Rocket, known as the Lunar Trailblazer, a spacecraft that maps water to the moon.
NASA will begin live launch coverage at 6:30 PM ET.
According to US Space Force forecasters, weather conditions for lift-offs are more than 95% preferred.
The IM-2 mission is part of NASA's Commercial Wheel Loading Services (CLPS) program, which includes NASA's scientific research and includes scientific research along with Lonestar Data Holdings, Columbia Sportswear, Nokia, Lunar Outspost, Puli Space, Dymon Co. Ltd. and the German Aerospace Center.
Athena marks its fourth CLPS mission, and has been released over the years, with another Atrobotic Mission coming out later this year.
Athena will be the first mission to test the moon's mining resources.

Moon 4G network?
An intuitive machine sticks another landing and helps you test the first cellular network of the moon.
Nokia's Bell Labs' lunar communications system (LSCS) is a “network within a box” designed to operate in the Antarctic of the Moon.
Two moon vehicles will be deployed to test the 4G network: Intuitive Machines' Micro Nova Hopper, named “Grace” and Lunar Outspost's Mobile Autonomous Research Platform (MAPP) Rover.
Both vehicles use LSCs to communicate with the lunar Athena, even when the bounty comes down to the moon's permanent shadow crater.
Nokia and Intuitive Machines hope to bring photos and videos of the first image of the lunar ice back to Athena via the lunar cellular network.
When NASA's Artemis Astronauts lands on the moon in the coming years, their spacecraft will use a similar Nokia Cellular Technology.
Wednesday's launch will set the US for two moon landings within a week.
On Sunday, the Blue Ghost Lander at Firefly Aerospace is scheduled to land near the moon.
Four days later, the intuitive machine Athena comes to land at the Antarctic of the Moon.
