$Intuitive Machines(LUNR.US$ Intuitive Machines on Track for Second Moon Trip, Founder Says
(Bloomberg) -- Intuitive Machines Inc. is moving forward with plans for another trip to the moon during the last three months of 2024, according to the space company’s billionaire founder.
The attempt would come less than a year after the company made history by setting down the first privately built lander intact on the moon and would be done in partnership with Finnish telecommunications giant Nokia Oyj.
“On our second mission, which will be in the last quarter of the year, we are actually installing a 4G network on the surface of the moon,” Kam Ghaffarian said in an interview Thursday at the Bloomberg Technology Summit in San Francisco.
Ghaffarian’s comments indicate launch plans are on track after Intuitive Machines’ Chief Executive Officer Steve Altemus told investors in March that the company planned a second lunar landing later this year.
