NASA selects Intuitive Machines for CLPS 2 contract to support Moon Base infrastructure
Intuitive Machines wins NASA CLPS deal

Intuitive Machines has been awarded NASA's CLPS 2 contract, extending the company's role in lunar exploration. This follows six previous CLPS task order wins for the company.

The new selection is expected to broaden Intuitive Machines' involvement in lunar delivery, mobility solutions, precision landing technology, and infrastructure supporting NASA's Moon Base initiatives.

Earlier this year, Intuitive Machines completed a successful hot fire test of the Trinity lunar lander, reaching 2,500°F and 900 pounds of thrust (link). The company is also providing the Power and Propulsion Element for NASA’s nuclear-powered SR-1 Freedom mission, repurposed from the IM-1300 bus (link). These developments highlight Intuitive Machines' expanding technical contributions to NASA missions.
