Intuitive Machines Selected for Multi-Satellite Communications Infrastructure Program

Intuitive Machines, Inc. announced it has received an authorization to proceed from an undisclosed customer to begin work on a multi-satellite communications infrastructure program with an anticipated value of more than $600 million.

Under the agreement, Intuitive Machines will leverage its satellite communications expertise and industry-leading IM 1300TM satellite platform to design, manufacture, integrate, and support multiple spacecraft for a critical communications infrastructure mission. Additional program details remain confidential at the customer's request.

"This program reflects the trust customers place in partners who can execute complex space missions with precision, reliability, and schedule discipline," said Chris Johnson, President of Intuitive Machines Space Systems. "Our team is committed to delivering high-performance spacecraft while working closely with our customer throughout every phase of the program — from design and manufacturing through mission delivery. We are proud to support a mission that advances critical communications infrastructure and delivers long-term value for our customer."

"Winning this multi-satellite procurement is an important milestone for Intuitive Machines and reflects the confidence our customers place in our ability to deliver high-performance spacecraft for a broad range of mission needs," said Steve Altemus, Chief Executive Officer of Intuitive Machines. "Today, Intuitive Machines is executing programs across commercial, civil, and national security space markets, and awards like this reinforce both the strength of our diversified business and the growing demand for our space infrastructure capabilities. Our strategy is to build, connect, and operate the critical infrastructure that enables the next generation of space operations. With decades of experience in spacecraft design, manufacturing, communications, and mission operations, we are delivering capabilities our customers need today while creating the foundation for the future space economy."

This award further demonstrates Intuitive Machines' ability to deliver complex spacecraft and infrastructure solutions for customers across commercial, civil, and national security space markets through its integrated build, connect, and operate strategy.

The Company builds mission-critical spacecraft, systems, and infrastructure; connects those assets through resilient communications and navigation networks; and operates them as long-duration services that create enduring value for customers. Increasingly, these are not separate businesses, but successive layers of a single infrastructure strategy—designing and manufacturing space systems, connecting them into resilient networks, and operating them as long-term services.

Each new mission strengthens this integrated approach, expanding Intuitive Machines' ability to support customers throughout the mission lifecycle while reinforcing its position as a trusted provider of commercial, civil, and national security space infrastructure. As demand for resilient space capabilities continues to grow, the Company remains focused on building the enduring infrastructure that will power the next generation of space exploration and the space economy.
