Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS)(“Momentus” or the “Company”), a
leading provider of in-space transportation services, is pleased to
announce that it has been awarded a NASA
indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) base contract award
with a performance period of five years to provide flight and
payload integration services to advance technologies and procedures
for operating in space.
Under the ID/IQ contract awarded by NASA, Momentus is among 15
companies selected that are eligible to receive task or delivery
orders to provide in-space transportation services, including
propulsion systems and orbital transfer capabilities, to facilitate
the deployment of satellites, payloads, and scientific
instruments.
“We are honored to be selected by NASA for this important
opportunity to support the United States’ efforts in space,” said
John Rood, CEO of Momentus.
The contracts will be managed by NASA’s Flight Opportunities
program, in collaboration with the Small Spacecraft Technology
program, both part of the agency’s Space Technology Mission
Directorate.
Momentus’ Vigoride vehicle offers flexible and reliable
transportation solutions for a wide range of mission profiles at
various orbits. The company’s technology includes water plasma
thrusters, which are safer and more environmentally friendly than
traditional chemical propulsion systems and flexible solar arrays
to allow deployment and retraction of critical power generation
capabilities.
“We look forward to collaborating closely with NASA and
contributing to the success of their ambitious space programs,”
added Rob Schwarz, Momentus’ Chief Technology Officer.
