Tenchijin COMPASS Moon is a lunar version of Tenchijin COMPASS: a comprehensive land evaluation engine that analyzes, visualizes data based on various information including Big Data from Earth observation satellites. The product’s main functions are “lunar eclipse simulation” and “area calculation”. These functions were used across the globe when the moon totally eclipsed on November 8, 2022. We believe this product unlocks the huge potential of Moon exploration and analysis, which is considered to be very important for the democratization of moon economic development.

• Moon as the World’s spotlight

World-wide governments have renewed their interest in the Moon. After the successful completion of NASA Artemis Moon program first phase, the Moon continues to attract public and private attention. There is indeed significant potential in utilizing its resources (water, minerals) and building infrastructure to settle mankind civilization. Dozens of start-ups are involved in new materials manufacturing, food growing and payload delivery with landers. Hence, we see huge potential for Tenchijin COMPASS Moon to be a great asset for these projects, namely to evaluate Moon's surface potential and locate the most suitable places for various business opportunities.
