LunaTrex is actively seeking funding sources, including sponsorships and direct investments.

We are working on setting up ground facilities for the long-term business model, allowing us to offer mission-control services to the space/satellite industry. Additionally, work on the VertiPod aircraft family continues, with sales to commence later this year, which will also generate some cash-flow to LunaTrex.

Funding is the bugaboo. We have worked for months on reducing risk, weight, and cost with our approach, so that the total price of the mission is affordable and achievable.

As a rough estimate, it costs about $1 million per pound, with about a $10 million minimum floor, to put anything safely on the Moon, and that's using our low-cost, electric propulsion methodology.

Thus, a 10 lb. rover might cost about $10, maybe 12-13 million to land on the Moon. That's doing everything on the cheap, with an acceptible margin for risk built in. A say, 150 lb. rover, will cost about $150 million to land safely on the Moon. Add about 25% to that if you're not using electric propulsion.

The risk is a tough nut to crack, but it's doable. However, in order to raise actual capital beyond sponsorship, one must have an active business model that is profitable outside of the GLXP mission to hang their hat on.

Thus, LunaTrex is working in parallel to both create the infrastructure for the GLXP mission while it develops long-term capabilities that can operate profitably.

We'll keep you posted on progress.

Stay Tuned!
