"We were in a strong position with a ground network, and with the ability to rideshare and bring satellites with us [on] this regular cadence of missions, we could deploy a constellation of satellites around the moon," says Steve Altemus, the company's cofounder, president, and CEO.
Intuitive Machines expects the first spacecraft to launch on IM-3 next year, with two more on IM-4 in 2027, and the final satellites on a fifth lunar mission for which the company expects to win NASA funding.
