| | MISSION: SAN XAVIER | |
Lunasonde’s 6U satellite, San Xavier, will carry the groundbreaking SubSAR payload, marking the first instance of gathering subsurface data from orbit. Scheduled to launch on SpaceX’s TR14 mission, San Xavier is expected to pass over most points on Earth every 40 days, within its designated altitude range. The collected data will be processed onboard as required, with extensive datasets being downloaded via X-band downlinks.

Lunasonde Swarm for Subsurface Collection Distributed Radar Sounders in Formation Flight with Advanced SAR Processing Pipeline
Lunasonde surveys the subsurface, translating the information into a detailed 3D map of underground resources. This capability is crucial for identifying new locations for scarce critical minerals, groundwater, and other valuable geological resources.
These maps not only help in locating new mineral deposits but also provide insights into the optimal use of land, water, and energy resources. Lunasonde's technology is a game-changer for sustainable resource management and exploration!
