ISRU Energy Audit

An independent assessment of energy requirements and feasibility for planned ISRU operations.

What It Is

A structured analysis that takes a proposed ISRU mission plan and answers: given the extraction method, target location, and available power sources, what extraction rates are physically achievable?

We review the energy assumptions embedded in mission architectures and flag gaps between planned power capacity and actual demand under realistic surface conditions.

What You Get

Energy budget breakdown — kWh requirements per process stage (excavation, transport, processing, storage)
Solar yield estimate — achievable power output at your specific landing site, accounting for terrain, dust, and seasonal variation
Gap analysis — where planned capacity falls short of demand, and by how much
Architecture options — alternative power configurations ranked by mass efficiency and reliability
Risk register — energy-related risks and their mission impact

Who It Serves

Space agencies planning surface operations with ISRU components
Commercial ventures designing extraction mission architectures
Investors conducting technical due diligence on ISRU ventures

Delivery

Reports are delivered as structured technical documents with supporting data tables. Typical turnaround: 4-6 weeks from initial brief.
