HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intuitive Machines,
LLC (“Intuitive Machines” or the “Company”), a leading space exploration, infrastructure, and services company,
today announced the execution of an agreement to deliver Brokkr-2, a deep space vehicle from California-based asteroid mining company,
AstroForge, Inc. (“AstroForge”), to deep space to observe one of AstroForge’s target asteroids.
Brokkr-2 is expected to launch during Intuitive
Machines’ second lunar mission in the second half of 2023. Intuitive Machines intends to deploy Brokkr-2 using the Company’s
excess launch capacity on an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV), Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) after the launch vehicle separates
from the lunar lander.
The agreement with AstroForge leverages
Intuitive Machines’ Orbital Services business segment, which provides a low-cost rideshare opportunity to carry Brokkr-2 into space.
“AstroForge’s pursuit of mining
asteroids to preserve Earth’s resources is a pursuit humanity can undertake with hope,” said Peter McGrath, Vice President
of Business Development of Intuitive Machines. “Ambitious missions like AstroForge’s will require a responsive and reliable
path millions of miles beyond the Moon on the way to asteroids. Intuitive Machines is honored to provide a solution to transport Brokkr-2
into deep space to observe one of AstroForge’s target asteroids in advance of missions that could benefit us all as well as future
generations.”
“Our first deep space mission places
AstroForge on an accelerated path to make asteroid mining a realistic and near-term solution to preserving Earth’s declining resources
and protecting the environment from the harmful waste produced by the mining industry,” said AstroForge Co-Founder and CEO, Matt
Gialich. “Intuitive Machines’ cost-effective rideshare makes opportunities like this possible, and it’s the perfect
example of the emerging cislunar economy.”
As previously announced, Intuitive
Machines signed a definitive business combination agreement with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: IPAX, IPAXU, IPAXW) (“Inflection
Point”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, that is expected to result in Intuitive Machines becoming publicly
listed. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by Inflection Point’s shareholders, the registration statement being
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and other customary closing conditions.
