Trinity brings the heat! 🔥🌕
2,500°F. 900 pounds of thrust.
Intuitive Machines' Trinity lunar lander lit up the night during its latest hot fire test, successfully completing engine ignition, main-stage operation, and multiple throttle sequences as we prepare for our third rgeted for Q1 2027.
Lessons from our first two lunar missions are shaping a more advanced Nova-C lunar lander, with expanded sensing capabilities, precision landing technology, and enhanced navigation systems. From successful NavPod testing this past summer to ongoing payload testing and now Trinity's latest hot fire, our teams are knocking down milestones across the mission. During the hot fire test, our team tested the engine's full throttle range, demonstrating the vehicle's readiness for the lunar landing burn.
IM-3 will deliver 13 payloads to the Moon's Reiner Gamma region, advancing the lunar transportation capabilities and infrastructure needed to support NASA's Moon Base.

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.

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 ate longer, and power more capable scientific instruments.

We marked an important milestone this past weekend in preparing for the IM3 mission as our Nova-C Navigation Pod completed long range thermal vacuum testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center inside the X-Ray Cryogenic Facility (XRCF).
XRCF is the world’s largest X-ray nd features a massive 500-meter vacuum tunnel, which is longer than the Holland Tunnel’s north tube and nearly the length of two Space Needles stacked end to end.
Our laser rangefinders measured targets at 260m and 490m in a completely airless environment. Hardware was enclosed in a thermal shroud with controlled heat loads and temperature swings from 39°C (102°F) to -3°C (26°F), stressing components to confirm sensor accuracy during lunar descent.
Grateful for the experts who planned, prepared, and solved challenges on the fly. Stay tuned on this channel for more IM3 journeys to Moon Base and check out the time lapse from inside XRCF!
