NASA selected Intuitive Machines for its next-generation Commercial Lunar Payload Services 2 (CLPS 2) contract. The multiple-award program has a combined ceiling of $10 billion and gives NASA a framework to procure commercial lunar delivery services over approximately 10 years.
Under the contract, Intuitive Machines and other selected companies will deliver cargo and supplies to the lunar surface. These missions will support NASA’s Artemis program and efforts to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon. The expanded scope includes payload delivery, direct lander acquisitions, and funded technology development.
