Momentus Awarded $5.1M Contract From NASA for Mission to Support Production of Advanced Materials in Space

To Provide Orbital Platform for NASA’s COSMIC Demonstration

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS), a U.S. commercial space company offering satellites, satellite components, and in-space transportation and services, announced today that it was awarded a $5.1 million contract on September 26 by NASA’s Flight Opportunities program to support the Commercial Orbital System for Microgravity In-Space Crystallization (COSMIC) demonstration, a pioneering technology designed to leverage the microgravity environment of space to advance crystal growth for pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and advanced materials.

As part of this mission, Momentus’ Vigoride orbital service vehicle will serve as the next-generation orbital platform to host the COSMIC payloads. Vigoride’s modular design and precision maneuvering capabilities make it an ideal platform for sustained microgravity experiments and commercial manufacturing in low Earth orbit.

“Momentus is proud to support NASA and the COSMIC mission with our versatile Vigoride platform,” said John Rood, CEO of Momentus. “We’re excited to play a key role in this flight test that seeks to unlock new frontiers in space-based manufacturing and usher in a new era where microgravity becomes a driver of innovation and economic growth.”

A collaborative effort between SpaceWorks Enterprises and Astral Materials, COSMIC was selected in June 2025 as a winner of the NASA TechLeap Prize’s Space Technology Payload Challenge. The COSMIC demonstration flight builds on decades of scientific research aboard the International Space Station and is a step toward commercializing in-space production. While on-orbit, SpaceWorks and Astral Materials payload will demonstrate a novel semiconductor manufacturing technology. By partnering with NASA, Momentus aims to accelerate innovation and bring space-enhanced products back to Earth.
