The Intuitive Machines lunar ship has on board half a dozen instruments that, in one way or another, will prepare the future landing of astronauts. On board Odysseus is a small reflector made of quartz prisms that will serve as an aid to vehicles that land on the Moon.

The ship also carries stereoscopic video cameras that will study the size and dynamics of the mineral fragments that accompany the landing. There is still room on board the OdYSseus for six other private shipments.
