Foundational technologies for lunar resources.
Engineered with discipline.

Moon Trades is a Romanian deep-tech micro-enterprise building the measurement, intelligence, and robotics layer for In-Situ Resource Utilisation on the Moon — and the multiplanetary future it unlocks.

What We Do

Three layers. One mission. A measurable lunar economy.

Moon Trades operates at the intersection of terrestrial mining heritage and the emerging space resources industry — closing the foundational gaps that current ISRU roadmaps still treat as assumptions.

ISRU & Regolith Intelligence

Lunar geotechnical characterisation, core sampling methodology, and in-situ mineral assessment — addressing the measurement gap that sits underneath every lunar resource business case.

Autonomous Robotics

Soil intelligence systems and autonomous platforms designed for the lunar surface — built for post-gravity operational environments and human-machine collaboration.

Systems Architecture

End-to-end design for partners building lunar infrastructure, ISRU pilot operations, and the broader Mearth economy — bridging Earth-side engineering rigour with off-world operational reality.

FLAGSHIP TECHNOLOGY

A.P.E.X.

Real-time, in-situ mineral and regolith assessment for lunar surface operations. A.P.E.X. delivers measurement where today's roadmaps still rely on assumption — replacing probabilistic resource maps with verified ground truth, before excavation begins.

Built on three generations of terrestrial mining and engineering heritage. Designed for the conditions actually present on the Moon — not for the conditions we wish were there.

Heritage & Philosophy

Built on Earth. For the Moon. With discipline.

Moon Trades carries forward three generations of mining and engineering heritage into the lunar resources frontier. We believe the path to a multiplanetary civilisation runs through rigorous fundamentals — not through speculation.

Design with Discipline

Engineering precision meets ethical, human-centred system thinking. The Moon is not a marketing surface.

Foundational First

We close the core sampling and measurement gap before scaling the narrative. Data before vision.

Collaboration over Competition

We build with — not against — agencies, primes, research institutions, and fellow SMEs. The Mearth economy is a team sport.

Elevate Humanity

Every technology we develop is designed to serve people first — on Earth, on the Moon, and on the path between them.

For Partners

Let's build the foundational layer of the lunar economy — together.

Moon Trades actively seeks collaboration with European Space Agency programmes, primes, research institutions, and fellow SMEs working on lunar resources, ISRU demonstrators, robotic exploration, and the Mearth economy. Technical depth and partnership packages are available under NDA.
