Energy delivery for any robot, anywhere. We are the last-mile logistics layer for power — pulling from any generation source and delivering it to any robot, rover, or habitat that needs it. Starting on Earth. Built for the Moon.

Hazard — The Energy Bottleneck

Energy kills lunar missions. And stalls every robot fleet on Earth.

Humanity must establish a lunar presence within 5 years. Robots get there first — but without reliable power they freeze, stall, and strand operations within days. Same root cause on Earth: fleets lose 30% of operating time to charging. 14 days max rover survival. −173°C battery death. Tethered exploration range. We fix it with one stack — THE HOPPER — that ships on Earth today and scales to the Moon.

Why Now — Three Trends Just Converged
Trend 01

Commercial lunar is live

NASA CLPS has procured $2.6B in commercial cargo to the Moon. Artemis base camp target: late 2020s. Lunar night power is a NASA-declared priority gap.

Trend 02

Robot fleets are exploding

3M+ autonomous mobile robots shipping by 2028. Energy is the unsolved bottleneck — across agriculture, last-mile, AMR, UAV, defense, industrial.

Trend 03

Open-stack navigation standardized

Nav2 / ROS 2 is now the de facto navigation stack. One integration target instead of hundreds — our Earth beachhead into every robotics vertical.

Trend 04

Lunar market is now a market

$10B+ surface logistics & power delivery TAM by 2035. Commercial primes need the charging layer we're building. We ship Earth first. Then the Moon.
