What are the immediate consequences of Intuitive Machines' lunar lander, Athena, landing on its side?

Intuitive Machines' lunar lander, Athena, landed on its side, precluding mission completion. Its solar panels cannot recharge due to the lander's position and extreme cold, preventing the planned 10-day water ice search. This failure occurred despite achieving the furthest south landing ever, in the challenging Mons Mouton region.
