Overview
A comprehensive report on the emerging lunar economy, covering 15+ planned missions, In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) strategies, mining prospects, and the broader cislunar economic ecosystem.
What's Inside
Lunar Missions Pipeline
Artemis, Chang'e, Luna, and commercial missions from Intuitive Machines and ispace are creating the infrastructure for a permanent lunar presence.
In-Situ Resource Utilization
Extracting water from permanently shadowed regions enables fuel production, life support, and radiation shielding. We assess ISRU technology readiness levels and economics.
