Nova-C Lunar Lander Passes Complete Spacecraft Test Run
2023年7月14日 - 5:05AM
Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR, LUNRW) (“Intuitive
Machines”) or the (“Company”), a leading space exploration,
infrastructure, and services company, has successfully conducted a
complete spacecraft test run of its Nova-C lunar lander – a
significant technical achievement in the Company’s efforts to
completing its lunar lander. The complete spacecraft test run
verified Nova-C’s flight software, flight avionics, liquid oxygen
and liquid Methane loading, high-pressure helium system
performance, propulsion system complete functionality, and
culminating in a hot fire of the Nova-C main engine.
“This was the most comprehensive test to date short of flying
the lander in space,” said Steve Altemus, Intuitive Machines
Co-founder, President, and CEO. “This test run represents a crucial
step forward in validating the performance of the entire Nova-C
lunar lander system on its way to the Moon. The technical
excellence the Intuitive Machines team showed during this
comprehensive test has propelled the Company closer to delivering
Nova-C to Florida for launch.”
The complete spacecraft test run conducted at Intuitive
Machines’ Small Vehicle Engine Verification Facility at the Houston
Spaceport is a culmination of a series of tests completed during
Nova-C’s production.
Comprehensive testing of the full lander with all its systems
powered on and operating is an essential step in the process of
verifying all systems are performing as expected. The Nova-C
spacecraft systems have been undergoing significant integrated
functional testing and checkout in preparation for this fully
integrated performance test.
