Moon Express Company started operating the Moon since 2020

If all goes well and goes according to Moon Express's schedule, the company will start exploiting the Moon from 2020.

Specifically, this Florida-based company will conduct an overall survey of the lunar surface, a work that has only ever been done by national aviation agencies, not one. Private companies like Moon Express.

If this effort is successful, they will receive immediately $ 20 million prize from Google. In addition, the company's reputation will be increased and they will receive more investments in their lunar exploration in the future.

'I really hope we will do this. The company will quickly deploy the project as soon as possible, not because of business bargains, but because we wish to conquer it, " said Moon Express CEO Bob Richards.

Google Lunar XPrize is a competition organized to encourage entrepreneurs and engineers to target their Moon exploration technologies and develop it as strongly as a new private industry.

The winner of the contest will win a $ 20 million prize, which requires a probe to be put on the Moon and the ship can travel 500 meters as well as photograph the landscape on this satellite surface, term at the end of the year.

Moon Express is one of the ambitious companies to conquer this. This year they will conduct exploration and imaging of the lunar surface to get awards from Google and further will exploit other services on the Moon.

"We have a lot of work to do in a very short time, and so is Rocket Lab," Richards added, referring to a New Zealand-based US company planning to visit the vessel. Search the Moon from a two-stage launcher.

In addition, there are 3 other companies competing directly with each other, including Synergy Moon, Team Indus and Hakuto. The highlight is Hakuto from Japan, which claims to invest $ 500,000 to develop self-navigating aircraft when flying on the Moon.

Moon Express is a promising name for the award. The company has raised $ 45 million from investors, they will also apply SpaceX's approach, reusing as many things as possible to minimize costs.

Their Lunar Lander MX-1E is currently in development, with the engine already built and ready for testing. This amphibious ship is expected to be able to carry 30 kilograms of cargo on the Moon.

Regardless of whether Moon Express can keep up with the schedule in the XPrize competition, the farther future they are, the more likely they are to see the true Moon expedition. They will explore and collect lunar soil and send it to Earth in their first mission.

There is currently no agreement on the exploitation of extraterrestrial resources between governments and private companies. But standing in front of the situation of national aviation agencies receiving less and less patronage from parliament, private companies will fill that gap in the field of space exploration.

Moon specimens collected by Apollo mission astronauts are now considered national treasures in the United States, NASA will never sell them to private collectors. Many stolen stone samples are assessed for $ 50,800 per gram.

It is because of the high value of the collected specimens from space, that a private organization may exploit material from the Moon, will raise arguments and a series of claims for rights. exploit from a multitude of companies with other economic potential.

Anyway, let's wait until 2020 to see how Moon Express and private companies, government organizations will act on the new trend of this era.
