Intuitive Machines CEO: 'We now have the platform for a lunar economy' | TechCrunch

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus says his company is uniquely positioned to support lunar missions and eventually a lunar economy.

The company was recently made the sole awardee for the multi-billion-dollar cislunar communications services contract, meaning it’ll be the one to provide high-bandwidth comms for Artemis and any other mission going out that way.

Intuitive Machines isn’t on its way to becoming a new prime; the traditional procurement methods of cost plus awards are giving way to fixed-price contracts with built-in long tails of services and support.

IM is based in Houston for a reason, Altemus said: “The talent pool in this area is incredible. We hire from all over the country, but it’s attractive here.”.
