About the Company

GRU builds off-world habitats using in-situ resource utilization technology, turning local material into building material.

We are landing on the Moon in 2027: our first mission will turn lunar regolith into bricks and demonstrate our modular pressurized habitat system. A second mission will begin laying the hotel’s foundation in a lunar cave. A third mission will open the first lunar hotel, targeted 2032.

We don’t stop at Moon hotels. GRU’s long-term plan:

  1. Build the first hotel on the Moon. GRU solves off‑world surface habitation.
  2. Build America’s first Moon base: roads, mass drivers, warehouses, and physical infrastructure.
  3. Repeat on Mars and build the first cities there.
  4. Own property on the Moon and Mars as these economies grow.
  5. Reinvest profits into resource utilization systems on the Moon, Mars, asteroids, and beyond—reaching our final form: Galactic Resource Utilization.

GRU Space is backed by investors in SpaceX + Anduril, and is part of Nvidia’s Inception program.

Tech Stack

We’re building the first hotel on the Moon, so our tech is focused on off‑world habitation: inflatable, pressurized habitats that can survive vacuum, regolith, radiation, and extreme thermal swings.
