Sidus Space is teammate on $30M Intuitive Machines-led Moon RACER Team for the NASA Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services Contract to Support the Agency's Artemis Campaign


Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) (the "Company" or "Sidus"), a multi-faceted Space and Data-as-a-Service satellite company announced that it is a teammate on the NASA Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services ("LTVS") Contract which was awarded to the Intuitive Machines-led Moon Reusable Autonomous Crewed Exploration Rover (RACER) team announced earlier last month.

This contract represents the first phase of developing a crewed rover for human exploration of the Moon's surface. The LTVS project aims to create a feasibility roadmap for developing and deploying a Lunar Terrain Vehicle ("LTV") on the Moon using Intuitive Machines' Nova-D cargo-class lunar lander. Intuitive Machine's global team, including partners such as AVL, Boeing, Michelin, Northrop Grumman and Sidus Space, intends to design a robust LTV architecture with advanced power management, autonomous driving, communications, and navigation systems for lunar exploration.

"We are excited to support Intuitive Machines and the Moon RACER team. Our collaborative work alongside industry leaders in lunar infrastructure creates an opportunity for Sidus to support a pivotal mission for today's and tomorrow's lunar efforts," stated Sidus Space Chief Executive Officer, Carol Craig. "Our work here llows us to showcase our decades of high-fidelity manufacturing heritage and assist in paving the future for lunar exploration and activity."
