Intuitive Machines has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Arizona-based KinetX, an aerospace company with more than three decades of experience in deep space navigation, systems engineering, ground software, and constellation mission design for U.S. and international clients.

The deal strengthens Intuitive Machines' ability to deliver fully integrated systems for Moon, Mars, and deep space missions, expanding into precision navigation and flight dynamics. The acquisition is expected to close before the end of 2025, pending customary approvals.

KinetX, the only commercial company certified by NASA for deep space navigation, has supported NASA and National Security Space missions. Its proprietary navigation software has already been used on both of Intuitive Machines' lunar missions.
