Unmanned systems that support infrastructure development with human-robot teams — proven in extreme terrain on Earth, built for extraterrestrial surfaces.
Our mission: unmanned systems — ground and aerial UxS — that support infrastructure development with human-robot teams on extraterrestrial surfaces. The long-term goal: human-UxS teams building expedition outposts, "bivouacs," proving the core technologies extraterrestrial outposts and terraforming will need.
High-wind, extreme-cold analog testing in Patagonia, run with Comisión de Auxilio de El Chaltén.
Bivouac's own version of NASA's analog mission model — testing systems on Earth in conditions that stand in for space — validates the tech against space-relevant requirements.
Human-robot teams building expedition outposts on extraterrestrial surfaces.
High-wind, extreme-cold autonomous flight testing in Patagonia, run as an analog mission with Comisión de Auxilio de El Chaltén — proving the close-contact autonomy stack in terrain a helicopter can't fly and a consumer drone can't survive. First expedition.
Ground and aerial unmanned systems working in lock-step with humans in extreme, GPS-denied conditions — the core autonomy stack behind every domain we operate in.
The long-term target: human-robot teams building expedition outposts — "bivouacs" — on extraterrestrial surfaces, proving the core technologies extraterrestrial outposts and terraforming will need.
and core engineering team — closing Bivouac's clearest gap.
starting with the Patagonia flight test — proving how humans work with ground and aerial UxS to build bivouacs and survive extreme conditions on Earth.
engagement — a Bivouac-run analog mission, in the spirit of NASA's own program, as our bridge to space-relevant validation.
