Momentus Inc., a space transportation and in-space infrastructure services company, has signed a significant contract with SpaceX to secure a port on the Transporter-12 mission, expected to launch no earlier than October 2024. This new development solidifies Momentus’ plans to participate in three missions with SpaceX in 2024, including all Transporter rideshare missions scheduled for the coming year: Transporter-10 in January, Transporter-11 in June, and Transporter-12 in October. Momentus Chief Commercial Officer, Chris Kinman, expressed his satisfaction with the planned launch schedule, stating that it enables them to meet the anticipated demand for their services. He highlighted that the company’s mission management and integration services are just the beginning of what Momentus can offer, with a focus on speed, affordability, and flexibility for their customers. In less than a year, Momentus has achieved flight heritage with three missions in orbit, a key criterion customers consider when choosing a partner to transport their satellites and other payloads to specific orbits.
