Clear Lake-based company Intuitive Machines will launch at least three times to the moon, and it has selected a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket for the third mission, according to an Aug. 10 press release.

“We’re offering our customers more than lunar surface payload delivery and extreme surface mobility,” Intuitive Machines President and CEO Steve Altemus said in the release. “Our turnkey solution for delivering, communicating and commanding customer payloads on and around the moon is revolutionary. Now, we’re proving we can do it at an annual cadence.”

The third mission includes a Nova-C lunar lander that will land about 286 pounds of payload on the moon. The lander will also have a "rideshare" option capable of deploying about 2,204 pounds of payloads into a "lunar transfer orbit," the release reads.

The payloads Intuitive Machines will deliver to the moon are experiments and data gathering that will pave the way for humans' eventual return to the lunar surface. Intuitive Machines' first mission launches in early 2022. The second launches in late 2022, and the third will happen in early 2024, according to the release.
