The Moon Is The Next Stop (A Teaser)

A new boom in the space industry driven by Elon Musk's, Jeff Bezos', and NASA's chase to seize the moon has created perfect conditions for sprouting space tech startups. In turn, the growing competition drives invention, allowing for faster acquisition of the needed tech to manifest the interplanetary existence of humankind and for small-scale startups, those spearheaded by Millennials and Gen-Z in particular, to have significant contributions. 

The reason to look to that demographic, including current college students, is glaring: they are the ones who have the most skin in the game, being the generation that will inevitably feel the effects of the environmental changes, whose gears by the way, have already started turning.

Ararat Robotics and many others are at the center of this simmering pot aiming to take full advantage of the newly increased demand for lunar resources and serve as a new forefront of human advancement in space technology. Currently in the works is a strategy to utilize college talent and establish a grassroots effort to promote space tech and invention. Additionally, the team is committed to growing the hidden talent of the Armenian population and other underrepresented communities in the space tech industry by aiding the AESA in establishing a national space agency in Armenia. The effort is only a single milestone of the many in Ararat Robotics' path. 

The white paper aims to establish why the moon is the perfect next step for humankind and why we are best positioned to take it on. We discuss which lunar resources are worth the chase, drawing upon findings from previous missions to the moon and our Earth-Moon economics simulation results, and how Ararat Robotics can extract them. The white paper should serve as an entry door to the world of innovation at Ararat Robotics and anyone willing to invest their money, time, effort, and professional experience. We welcome your curiosity for those already eager to see what the team has in store; you could become part of the journey by joining the team as a student or professional. Learn more about how and why you should join the effort here.

Ararat Robotics & StartaVC

On June 24th, 2021, Ararat Robotics presented at Batch 11 Demo Day at Starta Ventures . Among the attendees were staff, guests, industry experts, judges, mentors, and investors. We did not plan our participation, nor did we have any materialistic motivations. Instead, it was a spontaneous idea of the program director, Gabriel Arant , to grant an opportunity for a newly conceived idea to develop into something powerful.  It all started with our participation in the 2021 spring Starta Launchpad program, formerly known as the Starta Preaccelerator. At the time, our team was developing a business model and researching possible entry points into the space robotics industry. Going through a tailored guidance system for startup development, Starta Launchpad, was very fitting. Not only did we gain a comprehensive understanding of what it would take to go from idea to business, but we were doing it first hand. Along the process, we ran into significant roadblocks many times, some of which ar

The announcement comes amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which began in 2014 when Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula and backed separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. Despite efforts to negotiate a peace settlement, fighting continues in the region, and the situation has been further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Blinken stated that the United States will continue to provide support to Ukraine, including military assistance, as a means of helping the country defend itself against Russian aggression. He also emphasized the importance of diplomacy in resolving the conflict and called on Russia to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US has provided billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine since the conflict began, including funding for economi
