On-Site Exploration
IMENSUS offers a complete exploration solution tailored to the unique needs of lunar missions. Our exploration missions are fully planned and executed by our team, providing companies with the precise subsurface data they need for resource extraction, infrastructure development, and risk mitigation on the Moon. By utilizing advanced seismic technology, we deliver 3D models of the lunar subsurface, offering insights that 2D satellite images cannot provide. This information is crucial for companies looking to mine resources or build stable infrastructure. Through our comprehensive on-site exploration services, we help reduce mission risks, minimize costs, and support informed decision-making for lunar operations.
Our Technology
Seismic exploration is a proven geophysical method used in terrestrial mining and construction industry to map subsurface structures by analyzing how seismic waves travel through different layers
of material. IMENSUS is bringing this technology to the Moon, using it to gather crucial subsurface data for lunar missions.
Our seismic exploration rover consists of three core units:
Lunaphones: 50 wireless, three-directional geophones designed to withstand the harsh lunar environment. These devices capture seismic data across multiple layers of the subsurface.
Feeder Mechanism: An autonomous system that deploys and retrieves the Lunaphones across the lunar surface, ensuring efficient and precise placement for data collection.
Vibrational Source: A controlled vibrational energy source designed for shallow subsurface exploration, offering repeatable results and high-quality imaging.
At IMENSUS, we are thrilled to partner with ASTRAEUS to develop the Lunaphone. By combining our expertise in seismic technology with ASTRAEUS's strengths in software and electronics, we aim to create a highly reliable solution for lunar subsurface exploration.
How We Work with You
We take full responsibility for planning the exploration mission based on your specific requirements. Our team handles every detail, from the deployment strategy to data acquisition. You can track the progress of the planning phase in real time through our customer GUI.
We carry out the exploration mission using our autonomous rover. Throughout the mission, you can monitor progress and access real-time data, such as temperature, through our customer GUI.
Once the exploration is complete, we provide detailed geological models and subsurface data. We work closely with your team to evaluate the findings and plan the next steps, such as resource extraction or infrastructure development.
