Launches, moon landings and more: Here's the top spaceflight missions to watch in 2025
Intuitive Machines, which landed on the moon with its robotic IM-1 mission in February 2024, will be launching IM-2 as soon as January, also on a Falcon 9. The mission is optimized for the lunar south pole — including a payload to hunt for water — and will aim to set down in an area of Shackleton Connecting Ridge.
