Designing intelligence systems for Earth, ocean, orbit, and the lunar surface.

Building unified exploration intelligence for the next era of planetary development.

I’m Niko Grapsas, an exploration geophysicist, expedition diver, and planetary systems architect developing the intelligence needed to explore, build, and operate across Earth, ocean, orbit, and the lunar frontier.


My work integrates geophysics, remote sensing, AI, and autonomous-systems design into a unified decision-intelligence framework. I model the subsurface, map the terrain, and architect world models that guide teams toward safer, more efficient, and more sustainable exploration and infrastructure development.


Through Sustainable Exploration, I deliver rapid terrain, ESG, and resource intelligence for governments, operators, space companies, and frontier-market developers.
My goal is simple: make exploration sustainable on Earth and beyond.
