Powering space beyond solar. ⚡🌕
Intuitive Machines has received an $8.2 million contract extension from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory - AFRL to advance compact nuclear power technology that can operate where solar energy can’t, through the lunar night and beyond.
These systems could one day power spacecraft, planetary habitats, and national security missions in deep space, moving us closer to continuous operations on the Moon.

Intuitive Machines has completed its acquisition of KinetX, Inc. 🌑
With decades of expertise in deep space navigation, including missions to Mercury, Pluto, asteroids, and the Moon. KinetX strengthens our ability to deliver secure, reliable data relay and constellation management.
This acquisition accelerates our mission to provide end-to-end space services for lunar and interplanetary missions. Learn more: https://www.intuitivemachines.com/post/intuitive-machines-completes-kinetx-acquisition
This month, we celebrated our 200th day of hot fire testing on the Mobile Test Stand (MTS)—a huge milestone on our journey to provide orbital and surface delivery services!
Christened in March 2019, the MTS includes the avionics and propulsion systems required to perform development testing and performance verification of our main engine, motor valves, and avionics systems.
The series of tests executed on our 200th test day advanced our performance, cooling, and stability objectives for the IM-3 main engine injector.
We submitted the final proposal for the next phase of NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) contract, to build, fly, and operate the Intuitive Machines-led Moon RACER vehicle on the Moon. NASA is expected to announce the LTV delivery and demonstration award by the end of 2025.

We’ve secured a $9.8M Phase Two government contract to advance our Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) through Critical Design Review—the final step before manufacturing begins.
Built on our flight-proven Nova-C lander platform, the OTV is designed to move payloads across orbits, supporting a wide range of destinations from Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond, including:
-Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
-Geostationary Orbit (GEO)
-Low Lunar Orbit (LLO)
-Interplanetary Destinations
This contract marks a major step forward for in-space logistics and expands our growing portfolio of mission-ready space infrastructure. Learn more: https://www.intuitivemachines.com/post/9-8m-contract-propels-intuitive-machines-orbital-transfer-vehicle-toward-flight-readiness

in Space History
56 years ago, humans first set foot on the Moon, July 20th, 1969 during the Mission.
On July 20, 2024, Houston honors the next generation of lunar pioneers by naming it Intuitive Machines Day.
We’re proud to carry Houston’s lunar legacy forward—from our first lander to future missions that will shape the space economy for generations to come.

Our Story
Intuitive Engineering Solutions.
We develop engineering solutions at the unimagined intersections between energy, medicine and aerospace. By leveraging state-of-the-art engineering tools and practices, integrated with current research and advanced technologies we arrive at original outcomes.
We improve on the equivalent of machine nervous systems, brain control functions, and sensory perception; from sensing and analyzing the world around them to autonomously controlling their movements and interactions. We connect machines to humans through smart data display and control interfaces making both operator action and machine performance more intuitive.
As an engineering design and development think tank, we provide products and solutions that employ a “flight proven” lean engineering development model. Our rapid iterative design-build-test capability significantly lowers development costs, and shortens the development cycle, while increasing the probability of success of any project.
Solving Problems Together.
