About NUVIEW
NUVIEW is developing a commercial satellite constellation dedicated to high-resolution lidar mapping of Earth. The planned system will produce point clouds, digital surface models and terrain models for infrastructure, forestry, utilities, flood analysis, urban change and digital twins.
Space-based collection is intended to extend repeat three-dimensional coverage to remote areas without aircraft campaigns, with processing services turning measurements into application-ready datasets. NUVIEW is also leading Moonraker, a lunar-orbit lidar mapping concept selected by the European Space Agency for Phase A study in 2026. Both the Earth constellation and lunar mission remain development programmes ahead of operational service.

- 2026-06-16 - Contract Award - NUVIEW consortium selected for ESA Moonraker lunar LiDAR study
Moonraker will study orbital LiDAR mapping of lunar poles, landing sites and surface hazards. Lunar Outpost Europe leads thermal design and model-based systems engineering within the consortium. The mapping concept is intended to support autonomous landings, rover traversal and future surface missions.
