Warsaw, Poland – October 20, 2025 – MIRORES Mining Data Services proudly participated in the SpaceConnect SUMMIT 2025, a premier event dedicated to linking the Polish space industry with business and science.
Our CEO, Dr. Jakub Ciążela, delivered a presentation on a core innovation strategy: Dual-Use Space-Earth Technology.
From Mars to Minerals: The Power of FIR Spectroscopy
Dr. Ciążela’s lecture focused on how MIRORES is strategically adapting its far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopy technology—originally developed for planetary and space resource exploration—to address the growing global need for critical minerals on Earth.
Key takeaways included:
- Faster, Non-Invasive Screening: The FIR-based remote sensing approach allows for the rapid and non-invasive screening of large target areas.
- De-Risking Field Campaigns: By providing high-confidence data from a distance, the technology significantly reduces the cost and risk associated with traditional, boots-on-the-ground field campaigns.
- Improving Resource Confidence: This method enhances the overall quality and reliability of resource confidence reporting.
Strategic Support and Community
MIRORES is grateful for the continuous research and development support received from ESA BIC Poland and ESA Technology Broker Poland. The opportunity to engage with the wider ESA ScaleUp community—including ESA BIC, ESA Technology Broker, ESA Φ-lab Poland, and ESA BASS Ambassador—at the Summit was invaluable for fostering collaboration and driving future growth.
We extend our sincere thanks to Paweł Kwiatkowski and Jarek Chojnacki for the excellent organization of a highly productive and forward-looking event.
