A work in progress.

[Intuitive Machines @Int_Machines]

Our IM 1300 spacecraft is operating deep in the solar system.

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, built by Intuitive Machines, has completed its Mars gravity assist on its journey to asteroid 16 Psyche.

Revisit the flyby using NASA Eyes on the Solar System, an interactive tool that lets you explore Psyche’s journey:

@zach_gesslein @Int_Machines Right on. #adlunam

Putting talent on the map. Our 2026 intern class is joining Intuitive Machines from schools across the country, bringing fresh ideas and new perspectives to the future of space.

2026 spots are filled, for information on open roles at Intuitive Machines visit the link below.

@FlyItRealFast No problemo. Altus-1 is going into an elliptical frozen orbit…or ELFO if you are into the whole brevity thing. #adlunam

Moon Base 3 = IM-3 = Trinity lander. There’s a numeric symmetry there. #adlunam

[the space cpa @thespacecpa]

$LUNR IM-3 will lay the foundation for Moon Base III later this year.

Hello Mars, goodbye Mars 👋

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft was speeding by the Red Planet on May 15 when it snapped this rare, crescent view of Mars. The successful flyby flung the Psyche spacecraft toward its final destination: the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. 1/2

Intuitive Machines is now the prime contractor for NASA’s LROC and the ShadowCam instrument. We’ll lead imaging ops, data analysis, and mission support, advancing real-time navigation and precision surface operations for future lunar missions. Exploration is empowered by data-driven insights.

@Int_Machines - “NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, built on an IM 1300-series chassis developed by Lanteris Space Systems, an Intuitive Machines company, has completed its Mars gravity assist, using the planet’s gravity to help guide its journey to asteroid 16 Psyche.

Next stop: Asteroid 16 Psyche, where the mission is scheduled to enter orbit in 2029.”

@Astro2fish @Int_Machines "Yes, if" thinking @Astro2fish. This is the way. #adlunam

[Tim @CrainTim]

We're super-hyped about this on our side of the pond @goonhillyorg. Going to have to brush up on my Cornish before my next visit! #adlunam

[Goonhilly @goonhillyorg]

We're excited to share that Goonhilly will be acquired by @Int_Machines, subject to regulatory approval.

Continuing to operate out of Cornwall, this acquisition will expand Intuitive Machine’s integrated space-to-Earth network.

[Intuitive Machines @Int_Machines]

Customers have been clear that they want a single, integrated, and resilient solution for their communications and PNT needs as mission tempo increases. Our integrated space-to-ground network is built to support operations across LEO, lunar, and cislunar environments through one source for communications, PNT, and data transport.

@goonhillyorg & @COMSATteleports strengthens the backbone of this network, expands our ground presence, and brings a strategic core competency to the Intuitive Machines team, helping us innovate faster for customers.

@thespacecpa @HoleIyn1 @LanterisSpace @Int_Machines Sometimes the best we can do immediately is share the customer's post/announcement with no comment. We work to get our own out as soon as we get approval. Thanks for your patience!

[Tim @CrainTim]

@HoleIyn1 @LanterisSpace @thespacecpa @Int_Machines Turns out we have to get approval from some customers on any award related press release before we let it fly. The timing is really a function of how long that process takes to close more than anything else.

[Tim @CrainTim]

@DrSonnyWhite @weareibx Best of luck Sonny. We’re rooting for you!

[NASA JPL @NASAJPL]

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche – on its way to explore a rare, metal-rich asteroid – is about to get a speed boost from Mars. 🚀🏁

On May 15, spacecraft will harness the Red Planet’s gravitational pull as a slingshot to increase its speed and adjust its trajectory. 1/2

[Tim @CrainTim]

@thespacecpa Rapid is the key word. #adlunam

[Intuitive Machines @Int_Machines]

On #NationalAstronautDay we honor the astronauts whose courage and skill guide exploration through Artemis and toward Mars. Their experience informs all our spacecraft and services. NASA’s Ignition initiative calls for an LTV for a permanent Moon base, and we’re ready with Moon RIDER and Moon RANGER.

[Tim @CrainTim]

Nice ride

[Zeno Power @zeno_power]

We cleared a major technical milestone for our space nuclear battery to power lunar missions.

@thespacecpa Mainly that NASA is serious about Moonbase. I’ve never seen the Agency as focused on a common goal.

[Tim @CrainTim]

Fun panel at #SpaceSymposium Thursday talking about building the Moonbase. This is the work I had envisioned when I started pursuing engineering. #adlunam
