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.

@Int_Machines Lighting the way to the Moon: As @Int_Machines’ lander lifts off aboard a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, it takes with it NASA science and tech. Its mission? To help us better understand the lunar environment in preparation for future human explorers.
After liftoff on February 26, Athena established a stable attitude, solar charging, and radio communications contact with our mission operations center in Houston. The lander is in excellent health, sending selfies, and preparing for a series of planned main engine firings to refine her trajectory ahead of lunar orbit insertion, planned on March 3. Intuitive Machines is targeting a lunar landing opportunity on March 6.

Apollo astronauts made history by driving the Lunar Roving Vehicle across the Moon’s surface. Now, their insights are helping push the frontier further with the Moon RACER team’s next-gen Lunar Terrain Vehicle. The team is delivering a static mock-up to @NASA_Johnson for testing, a second mobile mock-up is expected to be unveiled in November.
🚀 One small step for GitLab, one giant leap for @Int_Machines. They built spacecraft software in record time using GitLab, even patching code 250,000 miles away. 🌕
We're celebrating #IntuitiveMachinesDay in #Houston! Join us in honoring the trailblazing employees whose hard work pushes the boundaries of space exploration and makes Intuitive Machines and #SpaceCity proud!
Flattered and then stabbed in the heart at HEB when the cashier asked to see my ID but then the screen asked “is customer over 30 years old?” And she had to click yes 😭😭😭
