Pavlo Tanasyuk is the CEO and founder of Spacebit, a UK based space company pioneering rover technologies and deployment systems for space based applications.

In 2010 Pavlo graduated from London School of Economics (LSE) with a Master’s degree in Management and Information Systems. Pavlo also holds MPhil in Technology Policy from the University of Cambridge Business School and Department of Engineering (Cambridge-MIT Institute) and Certificate in General Management from Stanford University.

Previously Pavlo was the CEO and co-founder of the highly successful payment system company, Monexy, which he later sold and invested the proceeds in space projects and the setting up of Spacebit.

Spacebit is British privately held company that develops space robotics technology for lunar and planetary missions. The company was founded in 2014 by Pavlo Tanasyuk, along with a couple of other private investors, and led by an international team of engineers, scientists and commercial specialists . The company is based in London, England.

Pavlo’s vision has led Spacebit to sign a joint agreement with Astrobotic to begin commercial and scientific lunar exploration with the first mission in 2021 on the Peregrine lunar lander; marking the first payload from the UK to reach the Moon surface. In October 2020, Spacebit booked a second payload delivery to the moon, aboard the Nova-C lander that Intuitive Machines is planning to send in 2021 as part of NASA’s CLPS program.

Spacebit is currently the only private early-stage company in the world with a flight opportunity to the Moon founded on scientific, technical and commercial objectives, over the coming years.
