Technical Roadmap

Enabling the
Lunar Economy

Delivering modular infrastructure and advanced software for the rapid scaling of lunar operations. Our approach integrates terrestrial green energy expertise with deep space ambitions.

Prospecting & Resource ID

Effective utilization requires a structured, data-driven path to "Ore Definition".

TIER 1

Regional Reconnaissance

Analysis of public datasets (observation missions), ground data, and academic research to develop deposition models.

Target Indicators Hydroxyl Anomalies
Method Thermal Flux Analysis
TIER 2

Point Prospecting

Ground confirmation via orbital kinetic impactors. The most cost-effective method for initial sampling.

Campaign 10 Impactors
Objective Confirm "Showing"
TIER 3

Resource Extension

Deploying surface rovers for trenching and shallow drilling to confirm lateral extent of mineralization.

Depth < 2 Meters
Hardware Onboard Assay

Precision Navigation (PNT)

A multi-mode architecture designed for the South Pole's challenging environment (no GPS, extreme terrain).

Primary Mode

LCRNS Beacon Network

Fixed beacon network (20 nodes / 10km²) using Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio ranging.

ISRU: Water Ice Processing

Using Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) technology (>90% efficiency) to convert lunar ice into propellant.

Ice Throughput 100 kg per day
Output (O2 + H2) 11.25 kg per day

Core Capability Matrix

Our internal roadmap drives the following critical infrastructure developments.

Capability Area Description Relevance to Constanellis
Excavation & Construction (E&C) Autonomous excavation of regolith/ice, construction of landing pads, roads, habitats, maintenance systems HIGH

Excavators and construction equipment require continuous power; Constanellis provides the power distribution backbone.
In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Collection, processing, storage, use of lunar materials (water, oxygen, metals); autonomous resource extraction CRITICAL

ISRU plants consume significant power (1000s of watts continuous); power distribution is essential for resource processing.
Surface Power Continuous day/night power generation and distribution; solar, nuclear, battery systems PRIMARY

Constanellis's core focus: power distribution, storage, and management for lunar surface operations.
Extreme Environments Operation in extreme lunar conditions (temperature swings -150°C to +120°C, radiation, vacuum) CORE

Constanellis systems must survive/thrive in these conditions.
Crosscutting Capabilities (CC) Integrated systems: communications, navigation, thermal management, contamination control MEDIUM

Constanellis power systems integrate with thermal, comms, and environmental control.
Dust Mitigation Technologies to protect equipment from lunar dust damage MEDIUM

Power systems must tolerate/avoid dust contamination; opportunity for integrated solutions.

Open Collaboration

Our "Open Lunar" philosophy invites researchers to contribute. We apply modern SaaS architecture and AI-assisted systems to autonomous lunar operations.
