A 13–15 year build-up. Each phase is commercially meaningful on its own — and funds the next.
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.
From ride-share demonstration to a continuous Mini + Max constellation — and beyond.
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.
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.
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.
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.
