Intuitive Machines Stock Rises on Lunar Communications Milestone
Intuitive Machines (LUNR) shares climbed 2.5% Wednesday morning following its certification for NASA-grade spaceflight software. The CMMI Institute's Maturity Level 3 rating validates the company's capability to support critical Earth-moon communications networks.
The designation positions Intuitive Machines as a credible contractor for upcoming lunar missions, including terrain vehicle services. While the technical achievement signals operational readiness, market viability remains untested as the company prepares to execute multiple lander contracts.
