ChannelTwoNews Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 $16 Million in funding for the first part of a three-segment construction project to extend a taxiway from Ellington Airport to the Spaceport has been approved by City Council. Taxiway Lima, roughly 2-mile stretch connecting Houston Spaceport to Ellington Airport, gets $16 million project approved - ABC13 Houston "The taxiway will act as a general upgrade to the airport, said Jim Szczesniak, director of aviation for the Houston Airport System, which oversees the spaceport. However, because of where it's located, it will "open up possibilities for the spaceport," including 400 acres of land for future development." 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 "Intuitive Machines Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR) was named as one of three recipients for NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract, which has a combined maximum potential value of $4.6 billion for all awards to multiple companies. For Intuitive Machines, the initial award is valued at $30 million for a feasibility assessment, which will take a year to complete. The vehicle will be used for NASA's Artemis III mission, which is the agency's first return to the moon since 1972. That mission is anticipated to launch no earlier than 2026. Intuitive Machines' initial award could be followed by further task orders with higher dollar amounts for a term of up to 10 years, the company said April 3." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axiom Space is a partner on an additional winning proposal, this one by Venturi Astrolab. Venturi's proposal is admittedly less sexy than the other two winners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
