Lunar-FM World’s first AI foundation model built specifically for the Moon

The Frontier Development Lab (FDL.ai) LunarLab, a partnership between the Luxembourg Space Agency, the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC), and Trillium Technologies, announced Lunar-FM, the first AI foundation model dedicated to lunar exploration and resource prospecting.

Developed with advanced computing and technical support from Google Cloud, NVIDIA, SCAN Computers International Ltd, and Datarock, Lunar-FM represents a major leap forward in how scientists analyse the Moon’s complex and fragmented data landscape

By applying state-of-the-art AI techniques, similar to those powering large language-based models like ChatGPT, Lunar-FM integrates vast and diverse lunar datasets into a unified, intelligent framework, known as a ‘foundation model’.  These new class of science assets can be adapted to many downstream use-cases with the goal to accelerate scientific discovery and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the Moon.
