Intuitive Machines announced that it selected SpaceX for the launch of its IM-2 lunar lander mission on a Falcon 9 rocket no earlier than 2022.

Intuitive Machines also selected SpaceX for its first lander mission, IM-1.

Masten Space Systems, which won a CLPS lander mission to the south polar region of the moon in April 2020, selected SpaceX in August to launch its XL-1 lander.

Astrobotic, which won an initial CLPS award alongside Intuitive Machines in May 2019, will fly that mission on the inaugural launch of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur in late 2021.

Astrobotic won a CLPS award in June for delivering NASA’s VIPER lunar rover to the south pole of the moon in late 2023, but has not announced the launch vehicle for that mission.
