Disclosure note

Indicative phase timing and scope are public; specific funding details, ride-share partners, and technical critical paths are shared directly with serious counterparties when the conversation calls for it.

Timeline

A four-phase lunar buildout

From ride-share demonstration to a continuous Mini + Max constellation — and beyond.

Phase 1 Ride-share Demonstration

First flights as a ride-share payload

Initial Mini Penetrator flights as ride-share payloads on commercial lunar landers. Technical verification end-to-end — impact survival, post-impact comms, basic site characterisation — and operational learnings that only come from real lunar deployment.

  • Mini Penetrator ride-share flights
  • Integrated data service preparation
  • Customer: lander operators, early science partners
Phase 2 Mini Self-operation

100-Mini constellation, commercial sales

A self-operated network of ~100 Mini Penetrators across the lunar surface. The first phase at which the network produces continuous, commercially saleable data — subsurface characterisation and positioning reference at meaningful coverage.

  • ~100 Mini Penetrators, multi-region coverage
  • Wide-area subsurface screening
  • Commercial data sales begin
Phase 3 Max Network at Scale

Max deployment begins — science-grade observation

Max Penetrators begin commercial deployment, layered over the existing Mini grid. The target configuration — Max constellation + 100 Mini — supports continuous moonquake observation, infrastructure-grade subsurface mapping, and a maturing lunar positioning service.

  • Max Penetrator deployment starts
  • Max 36-unit network buildup
  • Subscription data revenue & ride-share slots open
Phase 4 Beyond the Moon

From lunar infrastructure to the whole solar system

The penetrator + mothership platform extends beyond the Moon while the lunar network keeps growing as commercial infrastructure. New service layers — robotics, communications, insurance — sit on top of what we built in Phases 1–3.

  • Apply the platform to asteroid orbit modification (planetary defense) and Mars exploration.
  • Real-time moonquake observation and a lunar earthquake-alert system.
  • Penetrators carry small embedded robots that, after hard landing, scout the surrounding terrain.
  • Reuse the precise self-localisation from hard landings to build soft-landing vehicles and surface logistics.
  • Lunar land guarantee & insurance services to underwrite the value of lunar real estate.
  • Terahertz-satellite last-mile communications across lunar orbit and the surface.
  • Anywhere in the solar system — faster, cheaper, more precisely than anyone else.
