Since the purpose of the mission is to drill into the surface of the moon, landing upright will be crucial.

Resolution Criteria:

-The IM-2 lander must soft land land successfully and return telemetry data for this market to resolve YES.

-Market will resolve NO if the IM-2 lander does not land upright

-Market will resolve NO if the IM-2 lander crash lands

-Market will resolve NO if the team cannot communicate with the lander and retrieve telemetry data about the orientation of the landing.

Shown below is an example of the "upright" orientation.

  • Update 2025-03-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Threshold Clarification:

    • The lander must land with a tilt of no more than 10 degrees from an upright orientation.

    • All 6 legs must be planted on the surface to ensure that drilling can be performed.
