Space Resources

I am passionate about space exploration! I currently study in the Master in Space Technologies and Business (MSTB) program at the University of Luxembourg. I jointly conduct research at the European Space Resources Innovation Center (ESRIC). My research focuses on the in-situ space resource utilization (ISRU) focusing on modularity & interoperability of ISRU architectures and lunar regolith transport solutions.

I often write about space resources topics on my personal Medium blog and as an editor for The Space Resources Compendium publication.

If you are a space enthusiast or working in the space ecosystem, I encourage you to connect with me and join my growing network!

Space Successes

Our team, SiMoon, developed a high-fidelity moon simulation platform to enhance lunar mission planning. This platform was developed as part of the SpaceHack Luxembourg 2023: a collaborative 'hackathon' aimed at developing business ideas for the NewSpace industry.

Our platform placed 3rd ( out of ~20 competing teams) and received the software innovation award!

Alongside members of the MSTB program, I co-developed a lunar surface resources prospecting mission, LuxMoon Surveyor; as part of the GLEE program. The mission uses an array of femtosats ("LunaSats) for in-situ regolith characterization at a Lunar south pole landing site. The mission was presented to directors at ESA and LSA in January 2024. Our mission proposal was accepted by the GLEE program with a tentative goal of launching to the Moon in 2026 via Artemis.
