(NASDAQ: MNTS) (\"Momentus\" or the \"Company\"), a U.S. commercial space company that offers commercial satellite buses and orbital transportation and in-space infrastructure services, will be attending Small Satellite 2023 from August 5-10 in Logan, Utah.\n\n\nDuring the event, Momentus will be hosting a featured presentation to discuss its orbital transportation and hosted payload services, as well as its M-1000 satellite bus designed to be a powerful and low-cost platform to meet the needs of commercial and government customers. All Small Satellite attendees are welcome to join the event at 3:30 p.m. local time on Monday, August 7, in room LSB 207.\n\n\nMomentus M-1000 Satellite Bus\n\n\nMomentus is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for satellite buses with its flight-proven M-1000 satellite bus.

Momentus possesses the capability to manufacture satellite buses like the M-1000 at a rapid and scalable pace.\n\n\nMomentus has offered the M-1000 satellite bus to both commercial constellation providers and to the U.S. Government.
