CERES ROBOTICS, INC.

Ceres Robotics, Inc. specializes in the design, development, and deployment of advanced robotic systems for extreme-environment space operations, with a focus on lunar surface infrastructure and logistics. Their technical expertise centers on deployable truss mast architectures, mobile power systems, and autonomous payload handling, particularly for 50-kW class vertical solar arrays on the lunar surface. The company demonstrates a unique capability in creating reconfigurable, retractable, and transportable hardware that enables rapid repositioning of energy assets under low-gravity, high-radiation conditions. Their work integrates mechanical engineering, thermal management, and precision actuation systems tailored for uncrewed lunar missions, distinguishing them through systems engineered for durability, modularity, and in-situ adaptability. Ceres Robotics maintains a focused relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, delivering mission-critical solutions for lunar surface operations. Their engagements with NASA span both infrastructure development—such as the C-TOWER truss mast system—and logistics support, including the transportation of sensitive lunar payloads via specialized air and surface transport protocols. This recurring partnership indicates a trusted role in supporting NASA’s Artemis program objectives, particularly in establishing sustainable power and mobility architectures on the Moon. The company’s primary industry focus lies in research and development within physical and engineering sciences, specifically applied to space systems engineering, and in nonscheduled air freight services supporting space logistics. This dual focus reflects a niche positioning at the intersection of robotics innovation and extraterrestrial supply chain operations, serving the emerging lunar economy with end-to-end solutions from payload delivery to energy deployment. Ceres Robotics, Inc. is a small business structured as a 2L entity, headquartered in Montara, California. While currently holding no formal government certifications, their proven ability to deliver complex, mission-unique hardware for NASA underscores their credibility within the aerospace contracting ecosystem. Their geographic proximity to key aerospace R&D hubs enhances their responsiveness to federal mission needs.
