Lava Tubes Exploration System (LTES)
- Pioneering Autonomous Lava-Tube Exploration: Our fleet of precision-navigating drones is engineered to safely probe the Moon’s hidden lava tubes, opening access to environments long shielded from meteorites and solar radiation.
- Integrated High-Resolution Sensing & AI Analysis: By fusing LiDAR mapping, thermal imaging, and machine-learning terrain interpretation, we pinpoint thermally stable, structurally sound caverns ideal for future habitats.
- Scalable 3D Modeling & Resource Prospecting: Moon Drone’s platform generates comprehensive 3D maps of subterranean networks while assessing structural integrity and in-situ resources—like water-ice deposits—to lay the foundation for sustainable lunar bases.
Coming Soon - DROV-R
- Hybrid Mobility for Surface & Subsurface Access: A rugged all-terrain rover integrates a hopping drone powered by cold-gas RCS thrusters and compact chemical propulsion, enabling both precise regolith traversal and controlled short flights into lava-tube entrances or collapsed skylights.
- Advanced Resource Mapping & Prospecting: Outfitted with stereo LiDAR, multispectral imagers, gamma-ray and mass spectrometers, plus a modular sample-handling arm, DROV-R delivers high-fidelity 3D maps and in-situ assessments—from water-ice detection to helium-3 concentration and key mineral (ilmenite, titanium oxides, rare earth) prospecting.
- Sustained Connectivity & Reliability: A built-in relay antenna ensures continuous data flow to orbiters or landers, while high-efficiency thermal control and ruggedized electronics guarantee long-duration operations across the Moon’s extreme temperature swings.
Coming Soon - MOONCRANE
- Precision Descent Stage: A throttleable-thruster “crane” carries and releases 2–3 DROV-R units, guiding them to the designated landing zone.
- Autonomous RCS-Assisted Touchdown: Upon release, each DROV-R employs its patented landing gear and cold-gas RCS thrusters for a controlled, pinpoint lunar surface touchdown.
- Modular & Reusable Design: The descent stage features swappable docking interfaces and re-fuelable propulsion, enabling multiple DROV-R deployments per crane.
