But we saved everything 🙂.
Intuitive Machines, Inc. has installed the top deck, referred to as the 'hat', on its IM-3 lander, initiating full-vehicle integration for the Nova-C class spacecraft.
The newly achieved milestone sets the stage for the next significant step, a hot fire test, as part of the company's expanding space infrastructure offerings. Intuitive Machines, Inc. marked the occasion with the declaration of 'IM-3 Hat Day.' The IM-3 lander forms a core component of Intuitive Machines, Inc.'s broader space services portfolio, signaling further progress in private lunar and deep space missions.
Earlier this year, Intuitive Machines, Inc. secured a $1 million grant from Maryland to expand its space robotics operations and develop a new Center of Excellence in the state. The company also marked the twentieth anniversary of SATMEX 6, a satellite that provided communications coverage across the Americas. These developments continue to shape its position in the private space sector.
