Binar Prospector will perform high resolution magnetometry of the Moon over targets of interest, to identify economically viable resources.

Description
  • Make Australia NASA’s principal partner in in-situ resource utilisation at the Moon (ISRU), supporting a critical element of NASA’s Artemis program.
  • Continue to grow relationships with overseas agencies. Nothing succeeds like a joint mission, with NASA providing the launch, and JPL delivering comms and payload, and payload integration; joint operations with ESA providing mission control.
  • Continue to deliver value for Australian industry partners (Fugro assisting and trialling remote asset management at the Moon; Sitael assisting with propulsion integration and providing project management).
  • Demonstrate an interplanetary-class cubesat that can stand as a default vehicle for future Australian missions.
