LUNAR CARGO P.C

- Founded: 2021
- Country:
- Industry:
- Headquarters: Athens, Greece
Description: A Greece-based early-stage startup aiming to develop lunar logistics infrastructure. It proposes an unconventional approach to payload capture using a net-based kinetic energy absorption system, with potential dual use in regolith return and autonomous lunar delivery. Lunar Cargo Greece is a speculative but intriguing entrant in the lunar infrastructure space. Drawing attention with its unconventional plan to install a giant net on the Moon for cargo capture, the company challenges conventional thinking around lunar logistics.
Vision:
Its long-term vision includes becoming the backbone of lunar cargo reception, enabling return supply chains from Moon to Earth, and supporting sustainable ISRU commerce.
Mission:
Lunar Cargo Greece seeks to establish itself as the first dedicated lunar surface logistics operator with a non-rocket-based, passive capture system.
