De-Risk the Next Frontier of Exploration and Infrastructure
AI-powered terrain analytics that identify safe, resource-rich, and logistically viable zones on the lunar surface that integrate geophysics, remote sensing, and mission simulation for the Artemis generation.
Overview
The next decade of lunar development demands precision, safety, and sustainability. The Lunar Terrain Intelligence Pilot delivers the data-driven insight required to plan landings, habitats, and infrastructure in one of the harshest environments ever explored.
We fuse orbital datasets from LRO, Chandrayaan, and other missions with AI-based slope, illumination, and hazard modeling to produce decision-ready maps and dashboards that help mission planners and private contractors evaluate risk, optimize logistics, and design for resilience.
Surface & Hazard Modeling
Characterize lunar terrain for safety, accessibility, and engineering feasibility.
Includes:
• High-resolution slope, aspect, and roughness mapping (LOLA, LROC)
• Regolith hazard and crater-density analysis
• Proximity to permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) and illumination windows
• Local hazard scoring for landing, rover routing, and habitat construction
Resource & Illumination Analytics
Map potential energy, volatile, and material resources to inform long-term development.
Includes:
• Sunlight exposure modeling for solar availability and thermal cycles
• Proximity to volatiles (water ice, hydrogen, helium-3) from M³ and Diviner data
• Candidate resource-extraction corridors linking PSRs and illuminated ridges
• Terrain-energy coupling for power and ISRU feasibility
Mission Routing & Operations Planning
Integrate terrain and illumination data with robotics and logistics planning.
Includes:
• Traversability and energy-expenditure modeling for robotic or crewed rovers
• Multi-site pathfinding between base and resource zones
• Autonomous routing and swarm coordination overlays
• Communication line-of-sight and risk-aware path maps
ESG & Planetary Stewardship Layer
Adapt sustainability and impact frameworks to lunar development.
Includes:
• Minimal-impact zone identification for long-term environmental stewardship
• Site-specific illumination and energy sustainability metrics
• Early governance layer for traceable and responsible lunar activity
