Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) (“Momentus” or the “Company”), a
U.S. commercial space company that offers satellite buses,
transportation, and other in-space infrastructure services, has
been awarded a contract modification valued at $1,196,404 by the
Space Development Agency to continue development of the Vigoride
Orbital Service Vehicle for Department of Defense (DoD) Mission
Requirements.
Through this Small Business Innovation Research Award, “Orbital
Service Vehicle Enhancements to Meet DoD Mission Requirements” with
a total value of $1,942,477, Momentus will tailor the capabilities
of its Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle to support a wide range of
DoD payloads and mission requirements, setting the stage for a
rapid transition to an in-space flight demonstration.
“Vigoride’s flexibility, payload capacity, and power make it
well-positioned to support a range of national security missions
like space situational awareness, surveillance, reconnaissance, and
other priorities,” said Momentus Chief Executive Officer John Rood.
“We’re pleased that the Space Development Agency has expanded this
contract to make improvements to Vigoride, so it is tailored to
support SDA and DoD’s growing needs and to meet the requirements of
their national security missions.”
In addition to the Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle, Momentus is
now also offering its M-1000 satellite bus, which is based on the
space-proven Vigoride. This latest contract expansion will also
provide benefits to enable the Defense Department to use the M-1000
satellite bus for a range of missions like communications and
missile tracking. The M-1000 bus offers significant advantages to
commercial and government customers, such as its high power - up to
3 kW of peak power - large payload capacity, flexible
configuration, speed from requirements to delivery on-orbit, and
low cost. Momentus has offered the M-1000 satellite bus to both
commercial constellation providers and to the U.S. Government.
