Phases

More efficient mining

Fewer new mines

Fewer expanded  mines

End of Earth mining

Earth

Phase O

Sets stage for Phase I testing. Starts on Earth and continues into LEO.

Phase I

Use sensors to support Earth mining and to advance our technologies to go further on Earth and in space.

Phase II

Use new propulsion tech to test beyond Earth systems and ID additional tech needs. Find new mining targets.

Phase III

Bring samples to Earth from a near Earth asteroid. Tests the integration of Lunasonde technologies, partner technologies, and communications, with the goal of reducing expansion of existing mines.

Phase IV

Main Mission – Through proven technologies and partnerships, forge ecologically sustainable mining in space.
