Proving the Moon Before Launch

Astroport Space Technologies needed to prove its autonomous lunar site-preparation vehicles could move, climb, and last on the Moon before building any hardware. SoftServe ran physics-based terramechanics simulations to validate both vehicle designs and quantify their power, torque, and energy demands. The result: Astroport can now size its batteries and charging infrastructure with confidence, before committing to hardware.

On the Moon, you don’t get a second chance to discover your vehicle can’t climb the grade. We needed to know our mobility designs would hold up before we ever left the ground. SoftServe gave us something you can’t get from heritage charts and rules of thumb — a way to put hard numbers behind our vehicle designs before we commit them to the Moon. Knowing how much power these machines will draw, and how they behave on a slope under load, lets us size the rest of the system with confidence.

Edge Processing for Mission-Ready Space Robotics

Space exploration demands speed and minimal risk. Radiation-hardened electronics are rigid, expensive, and slow to prototype. We take a simulation-first approach, proving mission readiness in simulated environments before launch. We also offer AI-powered feature identification and change-detection models that run on satellites at the edge, built for advanced hardware and "Space Kubernetes" ecosystems.

Multi-Robot on the Moon

We built a mission orchestrator for a fleet of heterogeneous robots, coordinating ground vehicles and hoppers on the Moon.

AI-Driven Navigation for Mobile Robots

We train AMRs in simulation, so they learn to see, think, and move before they ever touch the floor.

L-REX: Lunar Robotic Excavator

L-REX demonstrated co-simulation for a lunar excavation robot that adapts its digging strategy in real time and inspects excavated tailings for embedded ice.

Lunar Exploration Drone Accelerator

The drone investigates crater depths and maneuvers through caverns and caves using propulsion engines, reaching areas no previous robotic vehicle could access.

Our Expertise

Lunar and Planetary Robotics

We build flight control, physics-based simulation, and data processing that give exploration robots the precision to work reliably beyond Earth. Our end-to-end accelerators make soil and rock mining on the Moon, Mars, and other planetary bodies safer and more efficient. Multi-scale XR simulators and teleoperation frameworks let operators control robotic missions from Earth with the accuracy the mission requires.

Satellite-Based Observation

Raw satellite data isn't a decision, it's a starting point. We use edge computing to process information as it's collected, turning it into insights the moment they're needed. Our post-processing toolchains then clean and refine that raw data into precise, ready-to-use information. The result: faster, more confident decisions, whether you're monitoring Earth, planning a space mission, or managing orbital robotics.

On-Orbit Servicing

A satellite running low on fuel used to mean the end of its mission because fuel keeps it in position. Once it's gone, the satellite drifts, even if every other system still works. With autonomous control for proximity operations, robots approach, inspect, repair, or refuel it without constant human guidance, turning a stranded asset back into a working one.

Space Robotics in Practice

We've supported space missions for as long as some have been running. SoftServe has worked alongside NASA, Astroport, Prefixa, Algoryx, and BruhnBruhn Innovation on AI-driven space missions, including one mission our team supported for 15 years straight. That's the kind of commitment we bring to your project.
