The IM-1 mission will include the company’s first attempt to land on the Moon as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (“CLPS”) initiative. This initiative is a significant part of NASA’s Artemis Moon exploration efforts. Scientific and technological payloads sent to the Moon under the CLPS scheme aim to lay the groundwork for manned missions and also a sustainable human presence on the Moon.

SpaceX will carry out the Nova-C IM-1 Moon mission using a Falcon 9 rocket to transport the lunar landing vehicle and various payloads, including DOGE-1. Intuitive Machines received its flight manifest recently and is now ready for flight.
