Presentation Space

Sailing to the Moon in Search of Water is a game changer for manned and unmanned missions to moon and beyond. Water is a critical substance for life and propellant.. FLEA (Femto Lunar Exploration Apparatus) is a low cost mission to deliver multiple passive seismic sensors on the lunar surface at greater frequency and covering more areas like the poles and far side of the moon. There are 3 main components to this program a Mothership, 4 solar Sails , each carrying a dozen Femto Landers or FLEAs.
The Mothership when on orbit will deploy the sails. Traveling to and from the moon the sails will take advantage of the lunar and solar phase. On approach to moon the sail will release the FLEAs to create pattern of on the lunar surface. Data from the FLEAs is relayed t by the Sails
