| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.
|
| Principles of Consolidation | Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intuitive Machines, Lanteris Space Holdings LLC (“Lanteris”), KinetX Inc. (“KinetX”), Space Network Solutions, LLC (“SNS” or “Space Network Solutions”) a majority-owned subsidiary, and IX, LLC, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments have been appropriately disclosed.
|
| Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The Company reclassed certain prior period amounts to a separate line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statement of operations. These reclassifications did not result in any changes to previously reported net income.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, other factors, including the current economic environment, and various other judgments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future reporting periods.
|
| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. While the Company engages in manufacturing, mission services, and related activities, these operations are highly integrated and are not managed or evaluated separately by the CODM. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. See Note 21 - Segment Information for additional disclosures on segment reporting.
|
| Concentration of Credit Risks | Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risks, including the credit risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. Certain account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits of $250,000 per account. The Company generally does not require collateral to support the obligations of the counterparties and cash levels held at banks are more than federally insured limits. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced material losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to whom it grants credit terms in the normal course of its business. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit ratings), the Company records a specific allowance for expected credit losses against amounts to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected and revenue recognition is deferred until the amount is collected and the contract is completed. For all other customers, the Company records allowances for credit losses based on the specific analysis of the customer’s ability to pay on an as needed basis. Major customers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.
|
| Trade and other receivables, net | Trade and other receivables, net Trade and other receivables include amounts billed to customers, unbilled receivables in which the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional and current portion of orbital receivables, net of allowance for expected credit losses. The Company bills customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries. The Company estimates allowance for credit losses based on the credit worthiness of each customer, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses when a balance is unlikely to be collected. Orbital Receivables Orbital receivables relate to performance incentives under certain satellite construction contracts that are payable over the estimated in-orbit life of the satellite. The orbital payment terms are designed to protect customers against the risk that a satellite does not achieve or maintain specified in-orbit performance requirements. The Company’s entitlement to orbital payments, including incremental contractual amounts calculated by reference to the orbital balance and payment period, is contingent on continued satellite performance and may be reduced or forfeited if specified performance requirements are not achieved. The Company accounts for orbital performance incentives as variable consideration under ASC 606. Amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with satellite performance is subsequently resolved. The Company recognizes such consideration as product revenue using the cost-to-cost method during the construction period and recognizes amounts previously constrained as revenue as the associated in-orbit performance uncertainty is resolved. Current orbital receivables are included in Trade and other receivables, net, and the long-term portion of orbital receivables, net is included in Orbital receivables, non-current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 - Trade and Other Receivables, net for additional information. The Company evaluates orbital receivables for expected credit losses based on factors including customer credit quality, historical collection experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other relevant credit-quality indicators. Changes in the allowance for expected credit losses are recognized in General and administrative expense. Reductions in orbital consideration resulting from a satellite’s failure to satisfy applicable in-orbit performance requirements are accounted for as changes in the transaction price under ASC rather than as credit losses. The Company has a revolving securitization facility with an international financial institution under which eligible orbital receivables may be securitized from time to time. Orbital receivables subject to these transactions remain recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets because the applicable accounting criteria for derecognition are not met. Proceeds received are recognized as securitization liabilities and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The securitization liabilities are reduced as customer payments are received and remitted to the financial institution. Interest expense associated with the securitization liabilities is recognized over the applicable financing period.
|
| Inventory | Inventory Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consist primarily of parts and sub-assemblies used in the manufacturing of satellites. The cost of inventories is determined on a first-in-first-out basis or weighted average cost basis, depending on the nature of the inventory. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expense. Inventory is impaired when it is probable inventory values exceed their net realizable value.
|
| Business Acquisitions | Business Acquisitions Transaction costs consists of direct legal, consulting, audit and other fees related to the business acquisition of Lanteris as further described herein in Note 3 - Acquisitions.
|
| Issuance of Securities | Issuance of Securities Transaction costs related to various agreements for the issuance of securities (as further described in Note 12), includes direct legal, broker, accounting and other fees.
|
| Warranty and After-Sale Service Costs | Warranty and After-Sale Service Costs Warranty and after-sale service provisions are based on management’s best estimate of the expected obligation using historical warranty data and experience. In connection with our acquisition of Lanteris (as further discussed in Note 3 - Acquisitions), we assumed warranty and after-sale service liabilities which are presented in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warranty and after-sale service costs are recognized within cost of product revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
|
| Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans | Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company assumed defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans for certain employees associated with the recent Lanteris acquisition. Pension and postretirement obligation balances and related costs reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements include costs directly attributable to plans dedicated to the Company. The pension and other postretirement plan benefits were frozen on December 31, 2013. See Note 15 - Employee Benefit Plans for additional information on the defined benefit and other postretirement plans and Note 3 - Acquisitions for more information on the acquisition of Lanteris. The Company recognizes the funded status of each pension and other postretirement benefit plan in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The calculation of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations is performed annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. The projected benefit obligation is the sum of the actuarial present value of all pension benefits attributed to benefit service completed to the determination date. Pension and other postretirement plan liabilities are revalued annually, or when an event occurs that requires remeasurement, based on updated assumptions and information about the individuals covered by the plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the pension and other postretirement benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of associated plan assets. The Company uses the net asset value (“NAV”) practical expedient to measure the fair value of the plan’s commingled fund investments. These commingled fund investments for which the fair value is measured using the NAV practical expedient are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The Company recognizes the amortization of prior service costs as a component of general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation and amortization). All other costs, including administrative expenses related to frozen plans, are recognized within other income (expense), net. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in the net benefit liability that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes gains or losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when settlement occurs. For the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans, accumulated actuarial gains and losses in excess of a 10 percent corridor and the prior service cost are amortized on a straight-line basis from the date recognized over the average remaining service period of active participants or over the average life expectancy for plans with significant inactive participants.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve the disclosures of expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether to account for certain early settlements of convertible debt instruments as induced conversions or extinguishments. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company has adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2026, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which changes how companies determine the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations involving variable interest entities. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The standard can be adopted early and must be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company decided to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2026, and applied the new guidance when analyzing the acquisition. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets which provides all entities a practical expedient option when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, including those assets acquired in a transaction accounted for under Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the amendments as of January 1, 2026, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by eliminating the prescriptive and sequential development stage model and introducing a principles-based framework requiring companies to capitalize internal-use software costs when management commits to funding the software project and it is probable the project will be completed. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2026, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832) - Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities ASU 2025-10 which establishes authoritative guidance for the accounting of government grants received by business entities. The guidance requires recognition of grants when it is probable that the entity will comply with the related conditions and that the grant will be received. Asset-related grants may be recorded as deferred income or as a reduction of the related asset, while income-related grants are recognized in earnings over the periods in which the related costs are incurred. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
