Washington – September 19, 2026 -- Lyntris Inc. (NYSE: LYNX) has been selected by Intuitive Machines to supply S-, X-, and Ka-band antenna feed systems for large-aperture antennas across its expanding global ground network.
Intuitive Machines picks Lyntris for tri-band feed systems across its worldwide ground stations
The ground network, built by Intuitive Machines, delivers continuous line-of-sight communications with the Moon and beyond through stations located strategically around the world. The infrastructure is designed to increase visibility across major Earth-viewing arcs, boost contact opportunities for lunar and deep-space missions, and expand capacity for communications, data transport, and position, navigation, and timing services.
Single-aperture design must isolate three frequency bands while holding deep-space signal performance
Lyntris' feed systems combine S-, X-, and Ka-band communications through a single aperture, a configuration that requires maintaining gain and noise performance for near- and deep-space links while keeping the three frequency bands isolated from one another. A number of Intuitive Machines ground antennas are expected to feature Lyntris feed systems as the network continues to scale.
Vertically integrated manufacturer draws on 40 years of RF and antenna production
Lyntris has delivered precision RF and antenna systems for more than 40 years, pairing aperture engineering with vertically integrated manufacturing to shorten the path from design to qualified hardware. The company says this approach will allow it to scale feed production at the pace required by Intuitive Machines' network expansion.
"Near space operations are moving from individual missions to standing infrastructure, and infrastructure has to work every pass, not most passes," said Richie Dart, SVP and GM of C5ISR at Lyntris. "Lyntris can deliver near and deep-space RF performance while building at the rate Intuitive Machines needs, and that combination is what turns a communications architecture into an operational one."
