NASA Selects Intuitive Machines to Support Tracking for Artemis II | Intuitive Machines will track the radio waves transmitted by the Orion spacecraft

Space missions depend on continuous access to data for navigation, communications, coordination, and research outcomes. Existing space-based networks are often fragmented, mission-specific, and constrained by coverage, bandwidth, and latency. These limitations make it harder for customers to maintain reliable contact, coordinate across assets, extract data, and deploy missions with confidence.    To address these challenges, Intuitive Machines is building a Space Data Network

Space missions rely on uninterrupted access to data for navigation, communications, coordination, and research. Yet today’s space networks are often fragmented and limited by coverage, bandwidth, and latency—making it harder to maintain contact, coordinate assets, and deploy missions with confidence.    To address these challenges, Intuitive Machines is building a Space Data Network (SDN) that spans Earth proximity, cislunar, and extended cislunar regions, supporting activity

The acquisition enhances Intuitive Machines’ ability to provide customers secure, reliable communications and precision navigation for lunar and interplanetary missions by combining its data service platform with KinetX deep space navigation technology. 

The acquisition strengthens Intuitive Machines’ position as a vertically integrated provider of end-to-end systems for the Moon, Mars, and beyond, marking the Company’s formal expansion into the precision navigation and flight dynamics segment of deep space operations.
