Two launches = two reasons to party! 🚀🚀🥳🥳 IPAC is excited about Lunar Trailblazer & SPHEREx launching! (And not because we get 2 cakes.🎂🎂) Yesterday we welcomed project team members and our partners for food and fun and watched the #LTB countdown drop to less than 24 hours!






Intuitive Machines Lighting the way to the Moon: As Intuitive Machines’ lander lifts off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, it takes with it NASA science and tech. Its mission? To help us better understand the lunar environment in preparation for future human explorers.




Fly, Lunar Trailblazer, fly! 🪽 The spacecraft has separated from the Falcon 9 rocket and is now flying independently. Around 30 minutes after separation, IPAC's mission operations team will work on receiving its first signal from the spacecraft. ipac.caltech.edu/news/nasa-s-lu…
