The space technology company works on new ways to make traveling to and operating on the Moon more affordable. In 2024, the company’s Nova-C lander touched down on the Moon, marking the first U.S. landing there since 1972. 

Partnership With Texas A&M

The company will occupy a dedicated bay at Texas A&M University’s new space institute facility. 

The Institute will create conditions that mirror the Moon on an unprecedented scale and with unparalleled realism, helping researchers anticipate how machines behave on rugged terrain, under extreme lighting shifts, and in lower gravity.

The $200 million state-funded project is slated to open in late 2026 and will feature a 400,000-square-foot indoor landscape designed to replicate both lunar and Martian surfaces.

Intuitive Machines intends to test and refine its Moon RACER rover, a reusable crewed and autonomous vehicle developed to support NASA’s Artemis missions, in the upcoming institute.
