India, Feb. 28 -- NASA launched the Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft on Wednesday aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, sending it on a mission to explore the Moon's south pole. The spacecraft aims to determine the presence of different forms of water on the lunar surface.

As part of the mission, Intuitive Machines' lunar lander is set to land on March 6 at Mons Mouton, a plateau near the Moon's south pole.

The lander carries scientific instruments under NASA's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and the Artemis campaign. The IM-2 mission will collect critical data about the Moon, supporting future astronaut exploration and advancing space exploration for humanity's benefit, according to NASA.
