We're excited to support NASA's next era of nuclear-powered space exploration as an industry partner with our Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) for the SR-1 Freedom mission.
Built on the IM-1300 platform, our PPE is being repurposed to serve as the nuclear electric propulsion element for NASA's planned 2028 mission to Mars, supporting the first demonstration of nuclear electric propulsion in interplanetary space.
Together, we're advancing the technologies and building the space infrastructure needed to explore farther, operate longer, and enable sustained operations in space.
#IntuitiveMachines #SpaceInfrastructure #NASA #NuclearPropulsion #SR1Freedom
We’re getting America underway on nuclear power in space and ushering in the era of a Nuclear NASA.
With the signing of an MOU with @ENERGY, we’re taking the next giant leap toward exploring the outer solar system and sending American astronauts to Mars. Fission power will help us travel farther, operate longer, and power more capable scientific instruments.

The future just got a little more connected. @Int_Machines got authorization to proceed from a private customer to work on a multi-satellite communications infrastructure program. We will handle the entire process, from planning to building to supporting the satellites, using our industry leading IM 1300 satellite platform. Above all, this represents a milestone of trust in our company. A customer selecting Intuitive Machines for multiple high-performance spacecraft is a strong vote of confidence in our team and capabilities. Huge milestone for the team and for commercial space!

NASA is building SR-1 Freedom, a nuclear electric propulsion spacecraft, launching to Mars in 2028.
We are proud to announce this during the 250th year of the United States, the mission’s name reflects the spirit of American innovation and exploration.
This mission will bring America’s nuclear power capabilities to space and deliver the Skyfall payload of Ingenuity class helicopters to explore the Red Planet.
Nuclear power and propulsion will be the key to undertaking crewed missions to Mars and exploring the outer solar system.
Space Reactor-1 (SR-1) Freedom will make the next giant leap and accomplish a key component of President Trump’s National Space Policy, bringing nuclear to space alongside @Energy.
NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives.
With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars.
In collaboration with @Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond.
A new chapter of deep space exploration begins. 🚀

We have news! We're partnering with @ENERGY to get a lunar nuclear reactor ready by 2030. Continuous, reliable power means we stay, build infrastructure, and push to Mars.
We are following through on the President's directive in the national space policy through American leadership in exploration, security, and a thriving space economy.
History proves when we team up on big challenges, we win. @NASAAdmin & @SecretaryWright are doing just that. 🇺🇸
