Polimak Space Secures Phase 2 Selection in ESRIC Start-up Support Programme at Space Resources Week 2025

Luxembourg — Space Resources Week 2025 has concluded, marking a milestone week for the future of the lunar economy. We are proud to announce that Polimak Space successfully showcased our advanced lunar regolith handling technologies to an audience of global space agencies, industry leaders, and investors.

Demonstrating the Future of Lunar Infrastructure

During the event, our General Manager, Mr. Süleyman Salihler, delivered a key presentation on the critical role of reliable bulk solids handling in space exploration.

Mr. Salihler highlighted that while extraction technologies often grab the headlines, they cannot function without the ability to move materials efficiently. He demonstrated how Polimak’s specific regolith handling systems bridge this gap, ensuring that the abrasive, electrostatic lunar soil can be handled reliably for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU).

Key takeaways from our presentation included:

The "Missing Link" in ISRU: Why material handling is the backbone of lunar mining.

System Resilience: How our designs withstand the harsh lunar vacuum and thermal extremes.

Recent Developments: A showcase of our latest prototypes designed for modular integration with lunar rovers and processing plants.

Awarded for Innovation: ESRIC Phase 2 Winner

The highlight of the week was the announcement that Polimak Space has been selected for Phase 2 of the prestigious ESRIC Start-up Support Programme.

This award is a significant validation of our technology and business vision. Winning Phase 2 support from the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) will accelerate our R&D efforts and deepen our integration into the European space ecosystem. We are honored to be recognized among the top innovators building the infrastructure that will one day build the Moon.

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!
