Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) (“Momentus” or the “Company”), a
U.S. commercial space company offering satellite buses,
technologies, transportation, and other in-space infrastructure
services, today announced it has signed a contract with SpaceX to
join an upcoming Transporter rideshare mission launching as soon as

Momentus plans to use this port for the launch of its

launch and deliver microsatellites up to 200 kg and cubesats,
provide average power up to 1kW, and deploy or operate hosted
payloads in orbits above 500 km and below the International Space
Station are encouraged to contact Momentus while booking
opportunities remain open.
“We’re thrilled to be under contract supporting DoD programs,
including for our upcoming launch and look forward to also
deploying commercial payloads in orbit on this upcoming launch of
our Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle,” said Momentus Chief
Executive Officer John Rood. “These exciting collaborations
position Momentus at the forefront of the future in-space
economy.”
