Problems We Solve
We tackle the complex challenge of simulating planetary environments in a single device. Current testing methods use separate facilities for vacuum, plasma, and vibration, leading to high costs, logistics issues, and incomplete testing. These limitations worsen as lunar and Martian missions increase.
Costly Equipment Testing
Traditional space equipment testing is expensive and resource-intensive
Access to Celestial Conditions
Replicating the complex environmental conditions of celestial bodies is challenging
Mission Preparation
Preparing for lunar and Martian missions requires detailed understanding of surface conditions
Our Solution is Planetary Surface Simulator
Planetera is developing advanced Planetary Surface Simulators that replicate the atmospheric and geological conditions of celestial bodies. Our integrated simulator offers a realistic, efficient, and cost-effective solution, addressing the shortcomings of current astronaut training and research facilities.
