About Fleet Space Technologies
 
‍Fleet Space Technologies vision from the beginning was to build technologies to help humanity explore and connect the Earth, Moon, and Mars. This led us to develop and launch one of Australia’s largest constellation of satellites, create our satellite-enabled mineral exploration technology (ExoSphere), and send Australia’s first seismic technology (SPIDER) to the Moon in 2026. ExoSphere, our end-to-end mineral exploration solution powered by space and AI, aims to accelerate critical mineral discovery needed for the clean energy technologies foundational to humanity’s clean energy future.

As part of Fleet’s founding vision, we also apply our technology to innovative solutions for defense and space exploration, including an upcoming mission to the Moon. Headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, Fleet has rapidly grown to over 130 employees including a growing team in the USA, Canada, and beyond.We have raised over $85M AUD  in venture funding, backed by premier investors including Blackbird, Grok, and In-Q-Tel and in  2023 we were recognized by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) as the #1 fastest growing technology company in Australia. To the moon!
