Technology

Many of the technologies we will need for MoonXcribe already exist for Space applications. These include; solar photovoltaic devices, high specific energy batteries, power and energy management solutions, high resolution cameras and solid state LiDAR, communications links, and rover routing with detect and avoid autonomous system functions.

At the same time, over 250 lunar missions are planned over the next decade with launchers, landers, and rovers all being in production and some are even a part of current lunar missions.

Please don’t worry if some of the technologies sound complicated. We’ve been working with these and more sophisticated ones over the course of our professional careers for 30 years.

That said, we plan to put together some short explainer videos so you’re in the picture if you are interested, and we’ll use these in schools as part of our STEM campaign.
