Port San Antonio-based Astroport Space Technologies is in the Texas aerospace spotlight this week. Astroport is a space construction and materials manufacturing company turning planetary resources into durable feedstock for autonomous construction of lunar surface infrastructure. Astroport Founder Sam Ximenes aims to help develop safe landing spots for spacecraft on the moon and Mars. He envisions fleets of autonomous robots using molten lunar soil to construct roads, launch and landing pads, and shelters. Sam and the team recently landed several small-business innovation and technology transfer awards as part of the $93 billion Artemis program to help create the moon base and eventually send humans to Mars. Astroport was founded in 2020, operating as a technology venture arm of Exploration Architecture Corporation (XArc), a space architecture consulting design and engineering firm established in 2007. #Space #aerospace #Texas #economicdevelopment #SanAntonio Brad Morrison #Artemis #NASA #Moon
