Equipment for
lunar operations
Our designs aim to reduce the equipment and consumables that lunar crews need shipped from Earth.
Centralized control
A shared lunar computer assigns work across the fleet. Each rover controls its own movement and tools, with local safety functions.
Explore coordinated operations ↗Oxygen from regolith
PLAZAIC is developing Pyrolytic Deoxidization to extract oxygen from lunar minerals.
Explore O2FR ↗Regolith decontamination
A proposed airlock spraydown system removes loose dust from suits and equipment, then recovers the wash water for reuse.
