Platform Overview

The regenerative energy cycle

Solar arrays power an electrolyzer to produce and store hydrogen and oxygen during the lunar day. The stored fuel provides continuous power through the 14-day lunar night while enabling refueling for landers, rovers, and other surface systems.

Stage 1

Solar generation

Sun-tracking solar arrays capture lunar sunlight and generate electricity to power surface operations while charging the regenerative energy system.

Stage 2

Electrolysis & storage

Excess solar power drives electrolysis, splitting recovered water into hydrogen and oxygen for long-duration energy storage and future refueling.

Stage 3

Fuel cell discharge

During the lunar night or periods of peak demand, the fuel cell converts stored hydrogen and oxygen back into electricity, with water recovered and recycled to complete the regenerative cycle.

AI-Driven Energy Management

Real-time coordination across every unit

Our control software continuously rebalances load across generation, storage, and consumption — adapting in seconds as thermal and power conditions shift through the lunar day.

Every deployed unit reports telemetry back to a shared model that plans generation and distribution days in advance, and reroutes around faults autonomously.

Why It’s Different

Built as a utility, not a one-off power system

Unlike battery-only systems that fail through the lunar night, RTGs that can’t scale, or missions that import every consumable, Orbital Utility’s platform regenerates its own power, gases, and water in place — and shares that capacity across missions.
