We’re proud to highlight Sierra Microproducts as this month’s Small Business Supplier Highlight. As an SBA-certified HUBZone small business, Sierra Microproducts plays an important role in helping Intuitive Machines secure the IT hardware needed to support critical work across our teams.
Did You Know? STS-8 (1983) made history as Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first African American to fly in space. The mission also deployed INSAT-1B, built in Palo Alto by Ford Aerospace’s Western Development Laboratories. This company eventually became today’s Lanteris Space Systems, an @intuitivemachines company.

Get to know our people! We recently sat down with Matthew Silva, AIT Lead Mechanical Technician, to discuss his time at Lanteris Space Systems. Here’s what he likes most about the job.
Check it out! The EchoStar XXV satellite has arrived in Florida ahead of its upcoming launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
This satellite represents the latest collaboration between EchoStar Corporation, DISH TV, and Lanteris Space Systems, an @intuitivemachines , in a spacecraft manufacturing partnership that spans nearly three decades.
Last month, we were recognized at the NASA Honor Awards with a Group Achievement Award for our work on Psyche.
NASA's Psyche mission is on its way to a unique metal-rich asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. For Psyche, we built the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis.
Congratulations to the team and thank you for your hard work!
Over the last two weeks, we welcomed 40+ students from @calpolyaero , 20+ from @santaclarauniversity and 20+ from @ucdavisengineering over a 7-day span.
Each group toured our manufacturing facilities and spent time talking with engineers and employees.
Hosting visits like these shows what’s possible beyond the classroom and it’s a reminder of why the work matters. Swipe to see the smiles behind the next generation of aerospace engineers.
