The sun doesn’t shine on parts of the Moon. Scientists believe those permanently shaded regions contain water ice below the lunar surface. To potentially discover water ice, IM-2 is taking NASA’s Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 to the lunar south pole to robotically

Let's celebrate #EarthDay with a #GlobalSelfie from Odie. Our Blue Marble's precious water holds the keys to life, and our IM-2 mission will search for water ice on our nearest neighbor, the Moon.

Intuitive Machines’ Micro Nova is a miniature Nova-C lander designed to search for water ice in permanently shaded regions of the Moon. Affectionately known as “The Hopper,” the spacecraft is designed to carry 8 kg of payloads up to 25 km from the IM-2 mission landing site.

Our first-of-its-kind vision processing and autonomous landing technology landed within 9.9 degrees from the Moon’s south pole. Massive craters, steep slopes, and difficult lighting conditions mark this ominous region of the Moon. Odie snapped this “delta position” image during

If you're at the Space Symposium, join us at the International Center today at 2:15 p.m. MDT. CNBC anchor Morgan Brennan will discuss the IM-1 mission, our next trip to the Moon, and the lunar economy with Jack Fischer and Dr. Kam Ghaffarian.

So long, #TotalSolarEclipse2024 , see you again in 2044.

NASA has awarded Intuitive Machines $30 million as a prime contractor to complete a Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract. The company’s global Moon RACER team will be tasked with creating a feasibility roadmap to develop and deploy a Lunar Terrain Vehicle on the Moon using

Between the trajectory and the number of orbits around the Moon, Odysseus traveled the equivalent of two and a half times the distance to the lunar surface, a total of around 600,000 miles. We expect our IM-2 mission to travel approximately the same distance.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has appointed Intuitive Machines VP of Production and Operations Jack Fischer as a member of the Executive Committee of the Texas Aerospace Research and Space Economy Consortium.
The Texas Space Commission will work to strengthen Texas’ proven

The IM-1 mission achieved a historic landing farther south on the Moon than any vehicle ever has, laying the groundwork for our second mission. IM-2 targets the Moon’s south pole at the Shackleton Connecting Ridge to search for water ice that future missions could potentially

The IM-1 mission fundamentally changed the economics of landing on the Moon and opened the door for a robust, thriving cislunar economy in the future. It achieved the intractable technical challenges of landing on the Moon through a fixed-price performance contract in a

Over the past weeks, three engineering teams have continued to review mission data.
Team One is organizing all of the data received from the lunar surface into a repository to make it easily accessible.
Team Two is reconstructing the mission by reviewing each system and

Four things could only be tested in space by the IM-1 mission. These successfully flight-tested items provide a strong foundation for the company’s next missions to the lunar surface.
1. A fully loaded liquid oxygen and liquid methane vehicle through launch
2. Free flight control

Our official IM-1 mission ended on February 29th, as Odie was not designed to survive the Moon’s harsh temperatures without sunlight. While we wait for the possibility of hearing from Odie once the sun shines on the solar panels prior to the end of the month, watch our mission

We've received and are analyzing data from NASA and commercial payloads and a tremendous amount of navigation, propulsion, and vehicle performance data that provides insights for future Moon missions starting with IM-2.
