Making fully reusable missions to the Moon and Mars possible
Starpath produces rocket propellant from raw materials on the Moon at commercial scale to enable lunar refueling. Without refueling, current state of the art launch vehicles cannot return to Earth unless they make significant compromises to their mission profile. Starpath’s technology will ultimately result in reduced launch costs, a higher launch frequency, and civilization-relevant payloads to the lunar surface.

A full-stack solution for propellant production
Starpath builds a set of three technologies to produce rocket propellant at mega scale. The end-to-end stack includes a fleet of mining rovers, a refinery and a vertically deployable solar array. Initial configurations of our system can produce enough liquid oxygen to refuel up to 10 Starship class vehicles per year.
This is Starpath
Hardware that acquires & processes extraterrestrial materials into propellant.
Starpath builds machines that produce rocket propellant in space at commercial scale for the purpose of refueling Lunar vehicles on the surface, up to the size of a Starship. Converting extraterrestrial materials into propellant ensures vehicles never run out of fuel, as we can always produce more from available resources, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
