Texas Space Commission

The Texas Space Commission congratulates @rookisaacman on his confirmation as Administrator of @NASA. The Commission looks forward to continued collaboration with NASA as the commercial space economy expands and new frontiers are opened for exploration, discovery, and security.

Today we announced details of our plans for our grant from the @TXSpaceComm. Interlune will create a Lunar Regolith Simulant Center of Excellence near @NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The lunar regolith simulants created at the Center will support not only Interlune’s mission, but also anyone else planning to operate on the Moon. 🌕This knowledge will create a massive U.S. advantage in space innovation.
