Meet the Founder
Megan Eskey
We're not here to follow trends—we're here to build something timeless. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and heart, we help planetary cartography come to life.
We have defined a syntax for planetary addresses and a lexicon for the first roads in space. We are constructing a language for space roadbotics, in our collective quest to become a multiplanetary species.
The space roadbotics end game won’t be played in boardrooms, but rather in space agencies around the world. The next space race may literally be that: a race along the surface of the Moon.
Missions to the Moon and Mars
Although charting the planetary maps is relatively straightforward and leverages NASA open data and Quantum GIS open source software, the complexity lies in the coordination with national space agencies, including NASA. A minimum viable product might include only the 32 roads I have identified, but any realistic map will include roads from countries that have a stake in the surface exploration of the Moon and Mars.
Roadbots
Although charting the planetary roadmaps is not frontier tech, launching a fleet of rovers to lay down a network of roads on the Moon and Mars is currently impractical. The issue is the speed of the autonomous rovers, which are quite slow due to the need to communicate with Earth. GMV is one of the first companies to explore the issue of rapid rovers, via the European Space Agency’s GSTP program.
