AI-powered analysis for targeted solar site selection on the Moon — identifying optimal energy harvesting locations for future lunar missions
Our specialized algorithms analyze lunar topography, illumination patterns, and regolith composition to identify the most promising locations for solar energy harvesting. TerraSOTA pinpoints where continuous sunlight and minimal shadowing maximize energy output for lunar bases and infrastructure.
Located at the lunar south pole, Shackleton Crater is a prime focus for our analysis. Its rim features Peaks of Eternal Light—elevated ridges that receive near-continuous sunlight—making them ideal for solar arrays. Our AI maps illumination patterns and identifies optimal placement along the crater rim for maximum energy harvest while minimizing shadow from the crater interior.
Amundsen, another key south polar target, offers strategic positioning for sustained solar power. Our models analyze its complex terrain and illumination geometry to find the best sites for solar panel deployment. We assess regolith stability, thermal extremes, and dust accumulation to ensure long-term viability for mission planners and commercial lunar ventures.
