Space starts on the moon.

Water on the moon exists as ice in permanently shadowed craters near the poles. Split into hydrogen and oxygen, it becomes rocket propellant that can be produced and used entirely in space, drastically lowering the cost of deep space missions without the enormous expense of Earth launches.

Moon Industry Inc. was founded to make this extraction technically and commercially viable. The team consists of around thirty engineers and scientists, largely from TU Delft, working on robotics, processing technology, and mission design.

In 2022, Moon Industry was selected as a semi-finalist for the NASA "Break the Ice Lunar Challenge", the only European team in the competition. This places us among the global frontrunners in serious lunar exploitation.
