Inter-Planetary
Link Ship

We design the definitive blueprints for ASI-built spacecraft, asteroid mining systems, in-situ resource utilization, and the complete infrastructure ecosystem that will power humanity’s solar-system civilisation.

From the first asteroid mine to orbital factories, lunar bases, Mars outposts, hotels and beyond — IPLS creates the universal modular platforms so ASI can build the entire off-world economy.

Founded 2026 • Guildford, Surrey, UK

Our Mission

To create the most comprehensive functional requirements for ASI-designed spacecraft and the full interplanetary infrastructure ecosystem — asteroid mining platforms, in-situ processing, orbital stations, lunar and planetary bases, factories, hotels and everything in between.

We begin with asteroid mining — the repeatable income and raw-materials engine that makes everything else possible.

IPLS is the architect of the entire ecosystem. We design universal modular platforms that give operators full control, rapid outfitting, and long-term ownership stakes in the infrastructure we help seed.

"Keeping me out of mischief for a few centuries… and beyond."

— Thurstan Davies, Founder

Our Approach: The Preparation Period

2026–2030+

Requirements Engineering

Life support, power, propulsion, closed-loop ecology, psychological resilience, legal frameworks — every edge case mapped out before ASI arrives.

Zero to One

From Tugs to Generation Ships

Modular, custom-outfitted vessels built to customer need. One platform. Infinite missions.

Ecosystem Builder

Asteroid Mining to Orbital Cities

Universal platforms that turn raw asteroid material into stations, factories, bases and the full infrastructure of a solar-system civilisation.

What We Are Defining Now

Asteroid mining & in-situ resource utilization platforms
Universal modular core platforms with full operator control
Life support & closed-loop biospheres
Power architecture & long-term energy storage
Orbital stations, factories, hotels & planetary bases
Psychological & social systems for multi-century missions
Authority, security & marshall-service vehicles
Ethical, legal & ownership frameworks

The Long Game

Once biological immortality arrives, the founders and early team of IPLS will still be here to watch the first asteroid mines come online and the first orbital cities rise. This is a multi-century corporation by design — building the infrastructure for humanity’s expansion across the solar system.
