Looks like the Intuitive Machines IM-1 lander tipped over and ended up in a sideways orientation after landing, similar to the JAXA SLIM lander few weeks ago ☹️

Vertical velocity was a bit high at 6 mph instead of 1, lateral velocity was 2 mph instead of zero. One of the legs is thought to have snagged a rock and caused the lander to tip over.

Solar panels are generating power, the lander is communicating, although the signal is weak.
No pictures yet.
