Columbia\u2019s Omni-Heat\u2122 Infinity and Omni-Shade\u2122 Sun Deflector technologies will help protect the lander from the extreme cold and hot temperatures in space and on the Moon. The goal of the mission to the Moon\u2019s south pole is to drill into the surface to search for lunar ice, a feat that has never been attempted in this inhospitable environment.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"news-body-cta\">This press release features multimedia.

(Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nFollowing last year\u2019s successful IM-1 mission that incorporated Columbia\u2019s Omni-Heat Infinity insulation technology, Columbia and Intuitive Machines have worked closely together to design and test thermal management materials that fully integrate Columbia\u2019s Omni-Heat Infinity technology, plus an additional technology called Omni-Shade Sun Deflector, into the IM-2 lander, Athena. Omni-Heat Infinity heat-reflective insulation will help protect part of the lander from freezing cold temperatures, while Omni-Shade Sun Deflector technology will help shield part of Athena from the sun\u2019s extreme heat in space and on the lunar surface.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDuring the IM-1 mission, we demonstrated the insulative power and durability of our Omni-Heat Infinity technology to help protect the lander \u2013 the same insulation used in our winter jackets and gear. While we celebrated this historic moment, we knew it was just the first step in unlocking the true potential of Columbia\u2019s patented innovations,\u201d said Dr. Haskell Beckham, Vice President of Innovation at Columbia Sportswear. \u201cThrough this scientific partnership, we have been able to stretch the boundaries of material and product testing to the furthest frontiers, reinforcing our commitment to delivering some of the most innovative outdoor solutions in the world.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAthena will face extreme heat from the sun as it conducts experiments on the lunar surface. Columbia\u2019s Omni-Shade Sun Deflector technology, a patented material developed to shield people from the intense heat from the sun, will be integrated into a multilayer insulation (MLI) blanket covering the top deck of the lander. Columbia\u2019s technology will help keep the lander cooler to prevent overheating by reflecting solar radiation away from Athena\u2019s essential batteries and avionics. On Earth, Omni-Shade Sun Deflector material is featured in several warm-weather products and uses reflective dots of titanium dioxide to deflect the hot rays of the sun away from the body, which mitigates heat build-up to help people feel cooler outdoors.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs it did for the IM-1 mission, Columbia\u2019s award-winning Omni-Heat Infinity technology will again be used, this time to insulate the helium tank on Athena, helping protect it against temperatures ranging from approximately +250\u00b0 to -250\u00b0 Fahrenheit as Athena journeys through space and during the lander\u2019s operational phase on the lunar surface.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe proudly join Intuitive Machines on this second historic lunar mission, furthering their goal to return humans to the Moon, and lending our engineered materials to the cause,\u201d said Joe Boyle, Brand President at Columbia Sportswear. \u201cFrom our headquarters in Portland, Oregon all the way to the surface of the Moon, we can confidently say our products undergo the most rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance. This partnership has allowed us to fearlessly experiment and employ our technologies in the most extreme environments, advancing our shared commitment to human exploration on Earth and beyond.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (\u201cCLPS\u201d) initiative, a key part of NASA\u2019s Artemis lunar exploration efforts, Intuitive Machines\u2019 IM-2 mission is set to demonstrate lunar mobility, resource prospecting, and analysis of volatile substances from subsurface materials. This is a critical step toward uncovering water sources beyond Earth\u2014a key component for establishing sustainable infrastructure both on the lunar surface and in space.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLiftoff of the IM-2 lunar mission is targeted for a multi-day launch window that opens no earlier than February 26 from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center and the mission will be streamed live on NASA TV and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.intuitivemachines.com%2Fim-2&amp;esheet=54209623&amp;newsitemid=20250219610169&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.intuitivemachines.com%2Fim-2&amp;index=1&amp;md5=9251e1a036dbd3c18dc8f8806148d95b\">https:\/\/www.intuitivemachines.com\/im-2<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSpace and Earth are part of an innovation ecosystem where progress in one fuels advancement in the other,\u201d said Steve Altemus, President and CEO of Intuitive Machines. \u201cBy continuing our partnership with Columbia Sportswear, we\u2019re proving that commercial innovation can break engineering barriers, supporting new industries on the Moon while driving technological advancements that reshape markets on Earth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor high-resolution images, video, and more information on the partnership between Columbia and Intuitive Machines, please visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcolumbia5.box.com%2Fs%2F7bswv507j6z4q8moxk783lxa7iic3emz&amp;esheet=54209623&amp;newsitemid=20250219610169&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=2&amp;md5=bc3815f52bdfe4164204fb74fd0735bd\">here<\/a>.
