As early as Thursday morning, a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a privately developed lunar lander may launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The vehicle, built by a Houston-based company called Intuitive Machines, will be the second US-made lunar lander to launch from Florida in a little more than a month.

The renaissance in American lunar landers represents the vanguard of NASA’s program to return humans to the Moon and establish a more permanent presence.

Martin said the company chose these propellants because they are significantly less toxic than hypergolic fuels, and they allow Nova-C to have a more powerful engine that can get to the Moon in days rather than a month or longer.

Despite the tests, a non-nominal methane temperature reading observed late Tuesday night scrubbed the first launch attempt a couple of hours before the planned liftoff early Wednesday.

“Landing on the Moon is extremely challenging,” said Joel Kearns, deputy associate administrator for exploration in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, this week.
