Lunasonde’s 6U satellite, San Xavier, is our next-stage satellite. San Xavier will fly on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Transporter-14 in summer 2025 via launch provider Exolaunch, deploying into sun-synchronous orbit. ​San Xavier will  use our proprietary low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) radar technological stack capable of detecting subsurface mineral deposits.

“We are excited about this next step in our evolution and what this could mean for global environmental factors as well as decreasing mining costs. These technological advancements will allow us to look an order of magnitude deeper than current satellite technologies and do so without disturbing precious Earth ecosystems."
