Intuitive Machines
Intuitive Machines@Int_Machines·
NASA has awarded Intuitive Machines a $180.4 million dollar contract to deliver seven payloads to the Lunar #SouthPole region. 🌕 This marks our fifth CLPS task order and the first to require a larger cargo class Nova-D lunar lander. Among the payloads are a lunar rover from the @AusSpaceAgency and @blueorigin's Honeybee Robotics. We look forward to working with NASA to deliver mission success on IM-5.

Our Artemis II crew will be going around the Moon, but they'll always find their way back home 🌎 During this complex journey, the four astronauts will travel ~685,000 miles on a trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth. See their daily agenda: go.nasa.gov/4bw1ddt

Our nuclear-powered spacecraft, SR-1 Freedom, will deliver the Skyfall payload of Ingenuity-class helicopters to Mars. We will never give up an opportunity to go to Mars.

Falcon 1, flight one. 20 years ago today. Can you believe it? It looks like a beautiful flight until you look a little closer and see that the engine is on fire. Very short flight less than a minute up and back down to crash on the reef. We learned a lot that day.

Andromeda flight engine awaiting shipment to our test site in Moses Lake, WA. 🔥 Big shout out to the local community and to our partners in the area like the @PORTOFMOSESLAKE and Grant County Sheriff's Office for being good neighbors and sharing the excitement as we work relentlessly toward launch.

My rendition of Jupiter in true colour on March 21st, jointly captured by myself and Damian Peach. This is a single OSC stack - one that was far better than the rest of the dataset. Europa is seen at right with subtle surface features. 24" Dob, Uranus-C at 8750mm f/14.6.

@Stuck4ger I drove halfway across the country with Carroll…snuck onto the airfield and slept in the back of an unlocked Huey in a hangar…to watch his first flight above the Kármán line in 2004. Godspeed, Mike. A true hero.

So sad to hear of the passing of Mike Melville, SpaceShipOne test pilot, commercial astronaut #1, and all around great human. He checked me out in the Proteus.

We’ve been to the Moon. This time, potentially as soon as 12 days from now, we’re going back to stay. Artemis began in President Trump’s first term and in his second, he doubled down. Returning. Establishing a base. Launching to Mars.

One day, we shall sail through the moon belts of Saturn 🪐
Black Hole@konstructivizm

Astronomers have discovered eleven new moons of Saturn. Most of them are small rocky bodies up to 5 kilometers in diameter. They move in retrograde orbits, meaning they rotate in the opposite direction to Saturn's rotation around its axis. Until recently, Jupiter was considered the leader in the number of moons. However, in recent years, Saturn has significantly surged ahead. This large number of moons is likely due to a relatively recent (in astronomical terms) collision of large moons. This collision produced numerous fragments, some of which eventually became individual moons. It's possible that this same event played a role in the formation of Saturn's famous rings. For comparison, 101 moons have been confirmed to date around Jupiter, 29 around Uranus, and 16 around Neptune. This makes Saturn far more numerous than all the other planets in the Solar System combined.
