Fleet Space Technologies Announces Recognition as a Winner in the The Australian Good Design Awards

ExoSphere by Fleet® is already transforming the way the world’s most progressive and innovative explorers find the critical energy transition minerals that will drive the global transition to clean-air mobility.

It enables faster, more accurate and more sustainable discoveries by scanning the earth through a network of geodes which then rapidly report results through Fleet’s existing constellation of small satellites.

This technology has already proven its success through trials scores the globe including within Core Lithium, one of Australia’s leading lithium projects.

The Australian Good Design Awards is the country’s oldest and most prestigious international awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958. Each year, the Awards celebrate the best new products and services on the Australian and international market, excellence in architectural design, engineering, fashion, digital and communication design, and reward new and emerging areas of design including design strategy, social impact design, design research and up-and-coming design talent in the next-gen category.

The 2022 Good Design Awards attracted high-quality design projects from Australia and around the world. These innovative projects were evaluated by more than 70 Australian and international Jurors, including designers, engineers, architects and thought leaders. Each entry was evaluated according to a strict set of design evaluation criteria which includes Good Design, Design Innovation and Design Impact.

Projects recognised with an Australian Good Design Award demonstrate excellence in professional design and highlight the impact a design-led approach has on business success and social and environmental outcomes.

ExoSphere by Fleet® ‘Nothing short of incredibly impressive’

The Good Design Awards Jury commented:

“This non-destructive mineral exploration solution is nothing short of incredibly impressive. ExoSphere is a world first in real-time mineral exploration, set to not only revolutionise the industry, but do so in a way that greatly helps the transition to a zero-carbon future by drastically reducing current exploration practices’ invasive drilling and excavation.

"Transmitting a data stream of passive seismic recordings from the ground direct to a network of 3D-printed low earth Orbit micro-satellites for cloud processing, theExoSphere system can pin-point high value minerals down to 2.5km beneath the earth and map 1000’s of sq km in a fraction of the time of traditional methods, resulting in highly scalable 3D exploration imagery.

With sustainability and the management of our natural resources of the highest priority for our planet, the development of smart energy solutions still requires many years of mining critical minerals. With ExoSphere by Fleet®’s innovative, targeted, fast, low impact and cost effective digital solution to mineral exploration, the Jury were unanimous in recognising ExoSphere with not only a Gold Design Award, but as winner of Best in Class. Congratulations to the ExoSphere team.”

Dr. Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia and Chair of the Australian Good Design Awards said:

“To be recognised with an Australian Good Design Award is a significant achievement, given the incredibly high standard of projects submitted in this year’s Awards. The Good Design Award is a valuable independent endorsement of professional design quality. It tells the world this project not only represents design excellence, but it also surpasses the criteria for design innovation and design impact.”

“We know that good design, when used effectively, can improve our quality of life and make the world around us better, safer, more efficient and more beautiful. It is clear from this year’s winning projects that investment in professional design delivers real impact – be it at a commercial, environmental or societal level. As our world transitions to a less-carbon intensive future, a design-led approach to solving problems and delivering meaningful impact is going to become more critical,” Dr. Gien went on to say.  

“The Good Design Awards recognise and celebrate the transformative power of design thinking to find innovative, customer-centric solutions to local and global challenges and this year’s Award-winning projects reflect just that. My sincere congratulations to all the designers, engineers, architects and innovators recognised in this year’s Awards – you deserve to be celebrated at the highest level,” Dr. Gien concluded.
