Touch Down - 6 March 2025

"After launch on the Falcon 9 on 27 February 2025 at 00:16 UT (26 February, 7:16 p.m. EST), the Nova-C lander touched down on March 6 at about 17:30 UT (12:30 EST) at the Mons Mouton plateau close to the south pole. Landing coordinates were 84.7906 S, 29.1957 E. Communications were established, but is was discovered that the lander was resting on its side.
