As we prepare to return to the Moon with NASA’s upcoming Artemis mission, we don’t just plan to set foot on its surface again — this time, we plan to stay there. Artemis is focused on establishing a sustainable human habitat on the Moon, a critical stepping stone to our future journey to Mars.
This ambitious mission involves much more than landing astronauts – it requires a whole new level of infrastructure, and that’s where Honeybee Robotics steps in with cutting-edge solutions, contributing to the development of critical technologies needed to live and work on the lunar surface.

Lunar power grid
Humans haven’t set foot on the moon in over 50 years, and NASA and its partners are working to change that. Honeybees Robotics The focus is on ensuring the power systems necessary for long-term habitation and exploration. In collaboration with mPower Technology, Honeybee Robotics has been selected to develop the Lunar Array Mast and Power System (LAMPS), a key component of the lunar power grid.
The system will consist of a tower as tall as the Statue of Liberty, equipped with solar panels and batteries to provide power, communications and even street lighting on the lunar surface. LAMPS leverages Honeybee’s DIABLO technology and mPower’s DragonSCALES solar modules to enable a flexible and efficient energy solution for the harsh lunar environment.

Build one tower at a time to power the moon
Honeybee Robotics’ LUNARSABER initiative will complement the lunar power grid by providing approximately 328-foot tall deployable towers with integrated solar power generation, storage and communications capabilities. These towers will capture and store solar energy during the lunar daylight hours, ensuring power supply during two weeks of lunar nighttime.
The design includes innovative solar panels that capture 360 degrees of sunlight and a large sail that tracks the position of the sun, allowing it to harness nearly 95% of sunlight throughout the year. This technology will support operations on the lunar surface and lay the foundation for a similar system that could be used on Mars.

Construction of a lunar network
LUNARSABER towers can function independently or as part of a network to transmit energy and communication signals over long distances. This capability effectively creates a lunar grid connecting various bases and vehicles. In the event of an emergency, such as a lunar rover losing power during the lunar night, a nearby LUNARSABER can shine a concentrated beam of sunlight to recharge its solar panels and ensure continued operation.

Important points about the cart
The idea of a power grid on the Moon is quickly moving from a distant dream to something that is actually taking shape. Honeybee Robotics is playing a major role in making this a reality through its LUNARSABER initiative. While there are still hurdles to overcome, the possibility of a vibrant Moon economy is becoming more real. As these technologies continue to evolve, the Moon could become a hub of human activity and a foundation for future journeys to Mars and beyond.
