SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS)(“Momentus” or the “Company”), a leading provider of in-space transportation services, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a NASA indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) base contract award with a performance period of five years to provide flight and payload integration services to advance technologies and procedures for operating in space.

Under the ID/IQ contract awarded by NASA, Momentus is among 15 companies selected that are eligible to receive task or delivery orders to provide in-space transportation services, including propulsion systems and orbital transfer capabilities, to facilitate the deployment of satellites, payloads, and scientific instruments.

The company’s technology includes water plasma thrusters, which are safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical propulsion systems and flexible solar arrays to allow deployment and retraction of critical power generation capabilities.
