2024 International Astronautical Congress (IAC2024) Opening Day!
Having completed a successful day with our R&D Engineer, Bupe Kasanya's presentation about "Innovative Regolith Transport Systems for Extreme Lunar and Space Conditions", today we are having a good start to the first day of the event.

A Recent Update From Us: In a significant step forward, we have joined an elite consortium of industry experts and academic institutions committed to pioneering breakthrough technologies for lunar construction and operations. This collaboration directly benefits NASA's Artemis program by accelerating the development of lunar surface landing and launch pads (LLPs).
Rocket launches on the Moon's airless surface can produce high-velocity ejecta, which can disperse dust, sand, gravel, and rocks, potentially damaging nearby assets such as spacecraft. LLPs are critical for reducing these risks and establishing a solid foundation for safe landings and launches.
This project is critical to defining and developing the technologies required for LLPs, such as power systems, shelters, regolith (lunar soil) excavation and processing, brick fabrication, and autonomous robotics.
We are proud to be a member of the Astroport Space Technologies consortium, which was selected by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for a Phase 2 STTR award to refine the concept of operations (CONOPS) and system architecture for LLP site preparation and construction. As part of this project, Polimak Space aims to improve regolith conveyance, storage, and transloading for LLP site preparation and construction.
24th Space Resources Roundtable Conclusion
We held a great Space Resources Roundtable this year in Golden, Colorado, where we showcased our most recent developments in regolith handling systems for space, lunar, and Martian missions.
The occasion offered a fantastic chance to learn from space agencies, businesses, and organizations, as well as the whole space resources community. The talks and presentations were very insightful and have sparked new ideas in the field of space resources.
We sincerely appreciate the Colorado School of Mines organizing team for making this event possible. Your diligence and commitment are much valued!

After the sixth Space Resources Week, Bupe Kasanya, one of our team members, went to Planetary Transportation Systems GmbH's lunar test facility. In order to promote cooperation and potential developments in space exploration technologies that may be forthcoming for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), TheMoon is situated in Rostock, Laage.
At Polimak Space, we are committed to developing technologies that will provide solutions for extraction, conveying, processing, storage, and transport for operations on the Moon, Mars, and asteroids—even though the transportation and conveyance of lunar regolith surpasses any terrestrial conveying system.

We successfully finished Space Resources Week 2024 this year, and it has been a great source of motivation for the ISRU community as a whole. Polimak Space is grateful for the organization and hosting of this event, which was made possible by the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC), Luxembourg Space Agency, the European Space Agency - ESA, and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). Looking forward to going back the following year!

After our General Manager Süleyman Salihler's presentation on "Advanced Regolith Transportation Systems for Challenging Lunar and Space Environments" yesterday, we had a successful day. Today, the third and final day of the event is off to a good start.
We invite you to participate in the 6th Space Resources Week in 2024!
Our General Manager, Süleyman Salihler, will present "Advanced Regolith Conveying Systems for Harsh Lunar and Space Environments" on the second day of the conference. Stay tuned for insights into innovative solutions for space exploration!
