Intuitive Machines, Inc. has reached a key development milestone for its upcoming IM3 mission by successfully completing long range thermal vacuum testing of the Nova-C Navigation Pod.
The tests were conducted at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center inside the X-Ray Cryogenic Facility, which is recognized as the world’s largest X-ray testing facility. This step is critical in validating the spacecraft component’s performance in the extreme conditions it will face in space, supporting preparations for the IM3 lunar mission.
