September 12, 2019 Buying Down Exploration Incremental and Meaningful Progress on the Technology Risk is Hard Technology Roadmap is Possible

1. Human missions have been right 1. We need to exploit every opportunity for around the corner yet elusive for decades inflight technology demonstrations on all 2. For years we have been studying spaceflight programs technology advancements for exploration • Primarily ground based demos 2. Leverage innovative procurement • Difficult for major programs to on- techniques and commercial business ramp unproven technologies models to lower the barrier to entry

3. It will take a focused concerted effort to buy down risks in the exploration technology roadmap

2 E.g., Approach for Oxygen/Methane • Oxygen/Methane on NASA strategic roadmap for future Mars flights Cryogenic propellant – High ISP, no toxicity, space storable, strong ISRU compatibility technologies to be – No space flight heritage demonstrated: • Intuitive Machines: Oxygen/Methane propulsion is ready Tank PMD sized for • Nova-C lunar : powered by Oxygen and Methane main engine igniter – First use of methane in space, first use of cryogenic propellants for planetary lander MLI + TVS/broad area cooling for thermal – Propulsion system heritage to recent NASA programs and decades of NASA/Academic research management – Vehicle architecture closes well for cislunar space • Pressure fed deep IM taking basic, low risk approach for first oxygen/methane throttling main engine mission – Conservative ISP, minimal cryo-fluid management risks – Opportunity to burn down future cryo-propellant risks on this mission and Program
