Building lunar landers
Instinct is making the Moon the new LEO. Our small lunar lander is designed to be launched as a regular LEO rideshare, enabling higher mission cadence at a lower cost.
Building lunar landers. Co-CEO of Instinct. Graduate in Space Engineering at UCL and Aerospace engineering at QMUL. At Open Cosmos, he worked in project management on the PHISAT-2 and HAMMER Earth observation satellites, both launched in 2024 and now in orbit. Published research on the usage of machine learning for detecting Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
Building lunar landers. CTO at Instinct. Studied Physics at Imperial College London and Space Technology at UCL. Worked on the magnetometer (MAG) for NASA's IMAP spacecraft with Imperial's Fluxgate Magnetometer Laboratory. Also worked on the Solar Wind Analyser (SWA) instrument suite aboard ESA's Solar Orbiter spacecraft with UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
Building rideshare compatible lunar landers. Ashwin is the co-founder and co-CEO of Instinct. He studied mechanical engineering at QMUL in London and holds a Master in Industrial Systems, Manufacturing and Management from the University of Cambridge. Ashwin has also worked at Imperial College London, researching Rolls Royce jet engines as well as undertaken consulting projects as part of a team at Cambridge across a variety of industries including Venture capital, Metalworking and Electronics.
Low cost, high precision constellation for lunar navigation.
Instinct is building a CubeSat-based lunar navigation constellation to provide GNSS-like positioning in cislunar space, starting with four satellites to achieve partial south-polar coverage and expanding to full coverage over several years. They also plan a technology demonstrator (BORD) in low Earth orbit this year to test the navigation payload.
