The Intuitive Machines IM-2 lander Athena has confirmed that it did indeed land on its side. Due to its positioning, the batteries are unable to charge via its solar panels. Priorities were shifted towards particular payloads including NASA's PRIME-1 polar mining experiment, depleting the lander's batteries and subsequently ending the mission. It is unlikely that the lander will be able to revive itself based on the angle which its solar panels are aimed.
