About Us
Exploring rough terrains & lunar resources
Puli Space Technologies Ltd. is a space technology company based in Budapest, Hungary. It was founded in 2010 with the aim to become part of the fast growing private lunar industry. Puli Space Technologies develops a low cost, lightweight, planetary rover platform with unique mobility capabilities carrying payloads, as well as a neutron spectrometer instrument to explore lunar water resources, and support In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) activities, while able to survive the harsh environment on the Moon.
Our PLWS payloads onboard the IM-2 mission
Flying on Intuitive Machines' IM-2 lunar mission launched in February 2025, two of our NASA-awarded miniature neutron spectrometer, called Puli Lunar Water Snooper, will measure albedo neutron count rates, indicating presence of water ice in the South Pole region of the Moon. Mounted on the rocket-fueled drone Micro Nova Hopper, PLWS will collect first direct surface data ever from a permanently shadowed crater as well. The European Space Agency and Puli Space have made history by signing the first-ever exploration data buy agreement of a commercial deep space mission.
Our Mission
Technology Demonstration
Demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Puli Lunar Water Snooper (PLWS) neutron spectrometer payload, and Puli lunar rover on the Moon
Search for Water Ice
Identify and measure concentration of water ice in the lunar soil with our novel and low cost PLWS neutron spectrometer
Radiation Measurements
Characterize lunar radiation, mainly albedo neutron environment via in-situ scientific measurements
Explore Lunar Surface
Visit and map hardly accessible areas like permanently shadowed regions
Data from the Moon
Acquire, process and share various scientific data about the lunar surface and its resources

“This project means for me to dare to dream big and do for them: many people say they know that we have the knowledge in this small country for it. Here's the chance to prove it.”
“First I would send our Puli ahead to take a look around, sniff, examine, make friends, be nice to the locals, whoever they are.”
“We need dreams, tales that the space is visible and that dream can come true. Landing Puli on the Moon is such a dream come true. It depends on us too if it happens.”
“Our scientists, thinkers, musicians carry the fame, that here in the Carpathian Basin, an ethnic group speaking a strange language - maybe thanks to their language - able to accomplish great things.”
“During my visit in Budapest, I saw with my own eyes how the Puli inspired the students, the audience. This in itself already makes the project valuable.”
“The Puli is both a professional challenge and a symbol. A successful mission can be a success for all of us, a nationwide positive experience that everyone can be proud of. Puli on the Moon - Wonderful thought!”
“One of the goals of Puli could be to bring our nation together. Thanks for the dream-like mission - Puli to the Moon! - which is unassailable, inspiring and pure. When was the last time we had the opportunity for such a noble collaboration?”
“Personally, what I like the most about Puli Space is that they have started a seemingly impossible project. A project that's about most people would say, it can't succeed anyway.”
“Everything is difficult for one; nothing is impossible for many.”
