Momentus Awarded NASA Task Order Contract in Support of Initial Phase of FALCON-Lidar Mission to Study Earth’s Atmosphere

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) (“Momentus” or the “Company”), a U.S. commercial space company specializing in satellite technology, space transportation, and in-orbit services, today announced that it has been awarded a task order by NASA to support the competitive mission formulation phase of the Fleet for the Atmosphere Linking Commercial Observations with NASA (FALCON)-Lidar mission.

Continued NASA task orders strengthen Momentus' revenue pipeline and expand future mission opportunities.

NASA’s FALCON-Lidar project is a part of the larger FALCON initiative that uses small satellites (often built or hosted commercially, rather than NASA's own large flagship spacecraft) to study the Earth's atmosphere. The objective is to gather useful atmospheric science data faster and more cost-effectively by leveraging existing NASA-developed instruments on commercial satellite platforms instead of building a dedicated NASA satellite.

“We’re proud that NASA has awarded this latest task order to Momentus to support another one of its complex missions using advanced technology,” said John Rood, CEO of Momentus. “Supporting the formulation phase of the FALCON-Lidar mission builds on our successful partnership with NASA, a core contributor in our revenue generation, while reflecting the strength of our team's ability to translate mission requirements into flight-ready solutions.”

Momentus will provide a range of services, including its specialized proprietary technologies, to perform the work supporting the FALCON-Lidar mission formulation phase. The work done in this formulation phase is intended to provide a foundation for NASA to determine a potential follow-on contract to build and fly a satellite supporting instruments to conduct a comprehensive atmospheric study. The Momentus facility in San Jose, California is leading this work.

The award for the FALCON-Lidar mission formulation phase will allow Momentus to continue demonstrating strategic value in supporting science and technology missions for the U.S. government. Continued government task orders such as this one contribute to Momentus’ revenue pipeline and reinforce its position as a trusted partner for national space priorities.
