Materials & Manufacturing
Test alloys, ceramics, crystals, coatings, composites, electronics, vacuum processes, thermal cycling, and lunar-resource manufacturing in the environment where they will operate.
Rent three connected habitats on a functioning lunar research base—not a simulation and not a short visit. You supply the crew, experimental equipment, and food. Selene provides water, air, power, communications, and disposal at no charge. All experiments are welcome.
Universities, national laboratories, space agencies, companies, foundations, and independent research teams can lease one complete three-habitat sector for a 180-day operating campaign. Each rental supports up to 15 customer crew; three independent sectors give Selene a basewide capacity of 45. Use one instrument rack or organize the entire sector around a single mission. Selene is built to turn unconventional questions into measured lunar results.
Vacuum exposure. One-sixth gravity. Radiation. Permanent shadow. Regolith. Cryogenics. Astronomy. Biology. Advanced materials. Robotics. Communications. Human performance. Closed-loop agriculture. Construction. Propulsion hardware. Experiments that fit inside one sealed module—and campaigns that use the entire base.
Test alloys, ceramics, crystals, coatings, composites, electronics, vacuum processes, thermal cycling, and lunar-resource manufacturing in the environment where they will operate.
Run controlled studies in partial gravity, nutrition, sleep, team performance, medicine, microbiology, agriculture, and closed-loop living across a full six-month campaign.
Use the radio-quiet lunar environment, stable ground, long baselines, permanent darkness, and direct access to base communications and timing infrastructure.
Excavate, assay, separate, compact, melt, form, print, join, and qualify lunar materials with constructor support and real regolith outside the habitat.
Deploy machines into dust, darkness, slopes, utility corridors, garages, and exterior worksites with continuous communications, power, tracking, and operational support.
The category does not have to exist yet. Selene is a general-purpose lunar research base. Define the question first; campaign engineering builds the interface around it.
A Selene rental is an operational campaign, not square footage. Your programme receives one autonomous three-habitat sector, capacity for 15 customer crew, experiment integration, and an uninterrupted 180-day lunar time block.
A private autonomous sector with living space, experiment space, a kitchen hub, storage, sanitation, and protected access to the rest of SLB-1 Selene.
You select and supply your researchers, mission specialists, operators, medical personnel, and customer representatives.
Potable and process water, breathable atmosphere, pressure control, and routine environmental circulation are provided at no charge.
Qualified power, local storage, precision timing, instrumentation networks, base communications, and Earth links are provided at no charge.
Routine waste handling, sanitation streams, experiment residue routing, and approved material disposal are provided at no charge.
Bring your crew, experimental equipment, specialist consumables, and food for the full 180-day campaign. We integrate the interfaces before arrival.
Selene is a fully buried south-polar base with nine habitats organized as three autonomous sectors. Each rental reserves one three-habitat sector. Each sector can sustain its assigned population if the other two are isolated, so a local fault does not end the campaign.
Private living and experiment space for up to 15 customer crew, an independent kitchen and stores, campaign coordination, communications, and one complete survival chain.
Private living and experiment space for up to 15 customer crew, configurable payload interfaces, robotic freight access, an independent kitchen and stores, and one complete survival chain.
Private living and experiment space for up to 15 customer crew, exterior experiment staging, garage access, an independent kitchen and stores, and one complete survival chain.
The 180 days belong to the experiment. Campaign preparation resolves interfaces before occupancy so lunar time is spent operating, measuring, repeating, and learning.
State the question, equipment, people, environment, interfaces, isolation needs, and success criteria.
Configure space, utilities, data, freight, constructor procedures, crew roles, and experimental controls.
Run continuously, change conditions, repeat trials, repair interfaces robotically, and use the Moon instead of rationing access to it.
Secure samples and assets, complete data handover, document operations, and prepare the selected return or continuation plan.
Bring up to 15 crew, your equipment, and your food. Selene supplies the protected lunar base, water, air, power, communications, disposal, field access, and the time required to discover something real.
