CATs&DOG® proof of concept for reconfigurable lunar infrastructure

4 Earth 2 Mars Holding B.V. is seeking project cooperation partners to help advance CATs&DOG® (Circular Architectural Techniques by Design, Origami, and Geometry), a geometry-driven system logic for modular, reconfigurable lunar infrastructure. Rather than defining one fixed asset, CATs&DOG® develops how a limited family of repeatable elements and standardised interfaces can support assembly, disassembly, repair, rearrangement, and reuse under severe mass, logistics, tooling, and resupply constraints.

Our current focus is a concrete next step aligned with our submitted ESA OSIP Early Technology Development proposal: proof of concept and analog-scale demonstration of a reconfigurable infrastructure logic relevant to early lunar surface operations. This includes module and interface logic, a parametric 3D design model, first-order engineering assessments, and repeated assembly, disassembly, stacking, and reconfiguration trials to validate handling and operational logic.

We are particularly interested in collaborating with partners working in structural testing, modular construction, space architecture, robotics, digital design, ISRU-compatible materials, shielding and protective surfaces, and analog demonstration environments. We also welcome ecosystem partners interested in co-development, pilot planning, validation strategy, and future proposal pathways.

Representative use cases include landing-pad-related layouts, protective surfaces, shielding configurations, and simple structural enclosures. The goal is not to propose one fixed product, but to validate a reusable infrastructure logic that can support multiple lunar surface applications while improving lifecycle flexibility, reducing redesign effort, and enabling more serviceable early lunar infrastructure.

At Space Resources Week 2026, we are looking to connect with selective partners who want to help shape a concrete next step from proposal-stage infrastructure logic toward validated implementation and future demonstration. If this opportunity is relevant to your work, feel free to connect via B2Match for an in-person meeting during the event, or book a short introductory call in advance via our website.

We look forward to continue the conversation!
