The company is making devices to search for rare metals on the Moon. This is one of the companies participating in Google's Lunar X Lunar Explorer. In this competition, the person who brought the robot to the Moon and conducted exploration in at least 500m, then sent high resolution images to Earth before 2016 will receive a prize of 30 million USD.

Moon Express has 25 employees, including former NASA engineer. Although there is no guarantee of finding rare metals on the Moon, the company is still determined. The implementation of this goal costs a lot of money, in which, in addition to the investment of the company's founders, NASA will also spend about $ 10 million.

" Moon Express will conduct a metal detection on the Moon since 2013 and will become the first private company to do so," said Naveen Jain.
