Member of the Lunar Exploration Advisory Group Commercial Advisory Board

 

The overall objective of Off Planet Research is to create unique and sought after simulants from extra-terrestrial environments for testing space technology and conducting research and development. We offer resources which dramatically increase mission assurance, cost effectiveness, and speed of development of safe and effective space-based technologies.

About Us:

At OPR, we strive to enable a meaningful, enduring human presence beyond Earth orbit by helping organizations learn how to live and work on the Moon and other worlds safely and productively. In order to facilitate this goal, we produce high quality simulants that emulate the regolith and ices on the Moon and other planetary bodies. In addition to producing simulants, we design, adapt, and test components and processes for inclusion in future lunar and off world missions.

 

OPR is proudly supported by NSF America’s Seed Fund to expand our icy regolith simulant research and production.
