Mission
We are developing an autonomous excavation and processing solution for lunar regolith, facilitating sustained human presence on the moon. We have been selected to compete in ESA's Space Resources Challenge.
Technology
Excavation System
Rotating auger mechanism optimized for lunar regolith extraction with integrated material transport.
Beneficiation
Integrated particle size sorting mechanism for real-time material classification and processing.
Team
ALUMNI OF THE IMPERIAL PLANETARY ROBOTICS LAB
We have formed a compact team with a high density of passion and talent. Our team is formed of young alumni of Imperial College London, working a variety of roles accross the professional space industry, with experience developing space nuclear reactors, satellites, and novel propulsion systems. We have talent in mechanical, electrical, design, and planetary science, and are supported by world leading researchers at Imperial College London.
ESA Challenge
Space Resources Challenge
Selected as one of eight teams from across Europe, we are designing and building a rover system capable of simultaneously excavating and processing lunar regolith simulant.
Technical Requirements
- Navigation in simulated lunar conditions
- Excavation of 15kg lunar regolith simulant
- Real-time particle size classification
- Stringent power and mass budgets
