Problem
Exploration of mineral resources on Earth and other planetary bodies requires high‑resolution geospatial and spectroscopic data, but existing datasets are fragmented, costly, and often lack the spectral range needed to identify hard‑to‑detect minerals such as helium‑3 or rare earth elements.
Solution
MIRORES offers a unified data service that delivers compact mid‑ and far‑infrared spectroscopy datasets for both terrestrial and extraterrestrial mining projects. By deploying portable IR spectrometers on ground‑based platforms and integrating them with satellite and rover observations, the company creates consistent, high‑precision mineral maps of the Moon, Mars, and remote Earth locations. The platform combines these remote‑sensing products with geological expertise to generate actionable resource assessments for commercial extraction, scientific research, and national‑security missions. Clients receive georeferenced spectral cubes, mineral abundance models, and analysis tools through a secure web portal, enabling rapid feasibility studies and mission planning without the need for in‑house spectroscopy capabilities.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining companies, space agencies, and defense organizations that require detailed mineral resource data for Earth‑based projects, lunar or Martian exploration, and strategic resource planning.
Features
- Compact mid‑ and far‑infrared spectrometers optimized for low‑power operation on lunar and Martian platforms
- High‑resolution hyperspectral imaging producing georeferenced mineral abundance maps
- Integrated data pipeline that fuses spacecraft, aerial, and ground‑based observations into a single repository
- Automated mineral identification algorithms calibrated for both Earth and space geology
- Secure web portal with downloadable datasets, visualization tools, and API access for custom workflows
- Dual‑use datasets supporting commercial mining, scientific exploration, and defense‑related resource assessments
