Enabling Off-World Exploration

Our ambition to explore the final frontier drives innovation at Fleet Space. Leveraging our global leadership in satellite-enabled seismic technology, we are pushing the boundaries of interplanetary exploration for the benefit of all humanity.

Moon to Mars: Demonstrator

7 Sisters, Australia’s mission to explore the Moon and Mars, aims to develop cutting-edge, non-invasive, and super-scalable technology for the Moon and Mars to benefit all humanity. In support of this mission, Fleet Space’s A$4M grant from the Australian Space Agency helped develop SPIDER, a geophysical device designed for lunar and Martian exploration, in alignment with NASA’s Artemis program.

First Australian Seismic Payload to Land on the Moon

Fleet 'Spider' technology

SPIDER, Fleet Space’s state-of-the-art lunar seismic technology, will land on the Moon’s surface as part of Firefly’s second lunar mission in 2026. SPIDER’s deployment on the Moon aims to advance fundamental research into sustaining human life on other worlds.

Our Capabilities

Fleet Space's Answer to Responsible Lunar Exploration

The Seismic Payload for Interplanetary Discovery, Exploration and Research (SPIDER), will record the natural seismic waves in the Moon’s subsurface to search for water ice deposits and advance humanity’s understanding of the lunar regolith’s geological properties.
