Momentus Signs Launch Service Agreement with SpaceX

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) (“Momentus” or the “Company”), a U.S. commercial space company that offers orbital transportation and in-space infrastructure services, signed a contract with SpaceX to reserve a port on its Transporter-12 mission targeted for launch no earlier than October 2024.

“Providing mission management and integration services is just the starting point for the work Momentus does, and we’re happy to accommodate our customers with speed, affordability, and flexibility both in getting to space and in executing their missions once in orbit.”

With this agreement, Momentus is planning on flying on three missions with SpaceX in 2024, inclusive of every Transporter rideshare mission slated for next year:

• Transporter-10 mission targeting launch no earlier than January 2024
• Transporter-11 mission targeting launch no earlier than June 2024
