TCT Aerospace Limited is located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom on unit 4, Block B, Captain's Rd. TCT Aerospace Limited is rated 3 out of 5 in the category aerospace company in United Kingdom. TCT Aerospace has recognised a major potential for a small moon rock collection mission and, with our team having over 40 years in the space and engineering industry, we have the knowledge and expertise for project implementation.​ Therefore our first mission, MoonPIE, is a commercial system for retrieving Moon samples, as well as surveying the lunar surface and individual rocks for future Moon mining and exploration. The full mission will aim to capitalise on the miniaturisation of today's technology, thereby using the smallest space hardware possible. MoonPIE's Primary Objective: To collect and return to Earth a minimum of 1kg of lunar rock and dust, whilst demonstrating Proof of Concept in showing a greater than 80% hardware re-usability per mission for at least 10 missions. MoonPIE's Secondary Objectives: 1. To open the mission to the public, so that anyone can participate and become part of the project. Access has been made available for the public to send letter, pictures and hair samples, to the lunar surface within the MoonPIE's Lunar Time Capsule, which is to be left on the moon surface for recovery by future generations. 2. To land 50m North West of the Apollo 12 landing site to reduce our ecological impact to the lunar surface. 3. To encourage active engagement, both professional and amateur, within universities, schools, educational facilities and the general public.
