Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR, LUNRW))) ("Intuitive Machines" or the "Company"), a space exploration, infrastructure, and services company, has secured additional contracts from NASA's Near Space Network ("NSN") for Direct-to-Earth ("DTE") services. These contracts further position Intuitive Machines as a vital partner in supporting NASA's missions to the Moon, and beyond.

DTE communication and navigation services are critical for enabling missions to exit Earth's orbit, reach lunar destinations, and explore deep space. The new contract awards include:

  • Subcategory 1.2: DTE Geostationary ("GEO") to Cislunar DTE Services, offering enhanced data transmission capabilities and autonomous operations.
  • Subcategory 1.3: xCislunar DTE Services, addressing mission needs for highly elliptical orbits and deep space operations.

Both contracts are firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity task orders designed to bolster NASA's Lunar Exploration Ground Segment. These awards add capacity to alleviate demand on the Deep Space Network and support unique mission requirements.
