Dymon successfully conducted the final tests with Intuitive Machines

Dymon successfully conducted the final tests with Intuitive Machines ahead of launch and the team is flying back to Tokyo.

Dymon designed and built the Yaoki lunar rover, which will be teleoperated from Houston during its mission on the Moon. The Mission Control System for Yaoki’s operation was developed and implemented by JAOPS.

The test covered the procedure for the initial checkout, rover deployment, capturing the first images, and driving the first meters on the lunar surface. We confirmed that all telecommands and telemetry data flowed correctly between the JAOPS Mission Control Center (MCC), the Intuitive Machines ground and lander systems, and the Yaoki rover.

In coordination with SpaceX, the IM-2 lunar mission is targeted for a multi-day launch window that opens no earlier than February 26.
