Problem
Mineral exploration and geoscience workflows suffer from fragmented data sources, slow acquisition cycles, and high environmental impact, leading to delayed target generation, increased uncertainty, and costly drill programs.
Solution
Fleet Space Technologies offers ExoSphere, an end‑to‑end, space‑enabled exploration platform that fuses satellite‑linked geophysical sensors, edge‑computing, and AI‑driven analytics into a unified 3D subsurface model. Real‑time telemetry from nano‑satellites and wireless Geodes delivers rapid, high‑resolution data for methods such as Ambient Noise Tomography, MEMS gravity, magnetotellurics, and natural‑source IP. On‑field edge processing and quality‑control ensure data integrity, while cloud‑based AI quantifies uncertainty and ranks drill targets. The platform integrates legacy and new datasets, providing a single source of truth that accelerates decision‑ready insights from weeks to days, reduces surface disturbance, and improves capital efficiency for mining projects.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large‑scale mining companies and exploration contractors that require fast, high‑confidence subsurface intelligence across remote or environmentally sensitive projects.
