13 September 2024 - 10:30PM
Business Wire
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) ("Momentus" or the "Company"), a
provider of satellite buses and in-space infrastructure services
including in-space transportation, hosted payloads, and other
in-orbit services, entered into a Collaboration Agreement with
Lodestar Space to integrate a robotic arm onto a Momentus Vigoride
Orbital Service Vehicle (OSV).
Momentus will work with Lodestar Space to define the
requirements to integrate and perform a robotic arm mission on a
Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle. Lodestar Space received a United
Kingdom Space Agency (UKSA) grant of £800,000 to fund the
development of a platform-agnostic modular robotic arm to perform
contact dependent dynamic space operations. The project is intended
to develop a capability to inspect, protect and repair vital assets
beyond Earth. Momentus will support the project with information on
concepts around Rendezvous and Proximity Operations and Docking
(RPOD), mission operations, and information on spacecraft
operations.
This is another unique project for Momentus and our
flight-proven Vigoride spacecraft. We look forward to collaboration
with the UK’s Lodestar Space to support the development of advanced
robotic capabilities for cutting-edge in-space operations.
