Intuitive Machines
Intuitive Machines offers comprehensive lunar access services, data networks, and orbital services, supporting various space missions with advanced technologies and partnerships.
Services
Intuitive Machines offers a wide range of services focused on lunar access and space operations. Their Lunar Access Services provide cost-effective methods for deploying objects in cislunar space and on the lunar surface. They also provide a Lunar Data Network (LDN) for secure, interoperable data relay services and a Lunar Tracking, Telemetry, and Command Network (LTN) with global ground stations for continuous communications with the Moon. Additionally, they offer Orbital Services, which include satellite delivery, servicing, debris removal, and Space Domain Awareness.
Lunar Data Network
Intuitive Machines’ Lunar Data Network (LDN) ensures secure and interoperable communication channels for spacecraft in cislunar space and systems on the lunar surface. This network provides essential data relay services that support various lunar missions. The LDN is a critical component for maintaining continuous and reliable communication, enhancing mission success and operational efficiency.
Data Relay Satellites
Intuitive Machines develops and operates Data Relay Satellites, known as Khon, to facilitate continuous communication for satellites in cislunar space and systems on the lunar surface. These satellites are designed to support ongoing data relay services, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission, which is vital for the success of lunar exploration missions.
Space Products
Leveraging their expertise from lunar programs, Intuitive Machines offers a variety of space products. These include propulsion systems, re-entry vehicles, and specialized software for space applications. Their manufacturing processes utilize advanced techniques such as direct laser melt sintering, enabling rapid prototyping and production of metal additively manufactured components. This approach ensures high-quality, efficient production of spaceflight hardware.
Precision Landing Hazard Avoidance System
Intuitive Machines has developed a Precision Landing Hazard Avoidance system that uses optical and laser measurements for accurate and safe landings on celestial bodies. This technology is crucial for minimizing risks and enhancing the safety of lunar landing missions, allowing for precise touchdown in designated areas even in challenging environments.
