Discovering Critical Minerals on Earth from Space to Meet Growing Global Demand
Our satellites are equipped with SAR, state-of-the art technologies, robotic systems, and our proprietary sensors and software. They are capable of imaging underground orders of magnitude deeper than traditional methods, allowing us to identify, locate, and map valuable resources with unparalleled accuracy. They have the potential to discover vast quantities of metals and minerals while minimizing the environmental impact associated with traditional mining practices on Earth.
Reducing Negative Impacts
Lunasonde’s technologies are designed to reduce the negative impacts of Earth-based mining and provide a solution to the incredible mineral demand upon our world today. Critical minerals are in high demand because Artificial Intelligence (AI), consumer electronics such as cell phones and computers, Electric Vehicles (EVs), and other high tech and net-zero technologies require semiconductors, batteries, and other types of equipment that use these minerals.
This move away from historic mining practices of drilling, boring, or blasting through rock as the only exploratory method is significantly better for the environment, reduces human rights issues, and has the potential to decrease the exploratory phase of legacy mining when searching for subsurface minerals could take five, ten, twenty, or more years.
