Interlune wins $6.9M from NASA to analyze lunar gases
NASA has awarded a $6.9 million contract to Seattle-based Interlune for the development of a system that can extract gases such as helium-3 and hydrogen from lunar soil and rocks.The system will be developed and tested on Earth under the terms of an 18-month Small Business Innovation Researc

All humanity should benefit from Helium-3, our new 'petroleum.' If, for example, SpaceX became the elite with the infrastructure, they should handle responsibility, accountability, and very high criticism, especially if SpaceX became the sole miner of the Moon because no others did.

Interlune brings in more cash to get set for moon mining
Seattle-based Interlune is raising additional investment to support its campaign to identify and extract resources on the moon that can be brought back to Earth, starting with helium-3.The fundraising effort came to light in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week.

#NASA Administrator #JaredIsaacman stated that the #US will return to the #moon within #Trump’s second term. He emphasised the importance of #lunarexploration for scientific, economic, and national security reasons, including the potential for #spacedatacentres, #infrastructure, and #Helium3 mining. Isaacman also highlighted the Artemis campaign, a moon exploration programme aiming to prepare for #Mars missions, and the role of #SpaceX and #BlueOrigin. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/26/nasa-boss-isaacman-us-will-return-to-the-moon-within-trumps-term.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

According to the company’s plans, multiple lunar missions are scheduled this decade, backed by #contracts with #US #government agencies. In addition to #Helium3 Interlune intends to extract #RareEarths, industrial #metals, & #water from the #Moon, laying the foundation for a long-term in-#space economy.
-
…#Interlune is one of the 1st companies aiming to #commercialize #Helium3 resources from the #Moon. Its #harvesting #technology is described as lighter, smaller, & more energy-efficient than rival concepts, cutting costs for both transportation & lunar operation. The company is also developing Earth-based systems to separate helium-3 from terrestrial gas supplies, which it says will provide an interim source before full lunar operations begin.
-
The agreement marks one of the first commercial commitments to secure #Helium3 a scarce isotope on Earth but present in significant quantities on the #Moon. According to Interlune, helium-3 was deposited on the lunar surface by the solar wind & first identified in Apollo-era samples. The #UK government release on the deal described helium-3 as a critical material for #quantum #computers & one of the most valuable substances that can be transported from #space.
-
#Bluefors, the world’s leading maker of #cryogenic cooling systems for #quantum #technology, has signed an agreement to purchase up to 10,000 liters of #Helium3 annually from #Interlune, a #US company developing #space-based resource extraction. The deliveries are scheduled from 2028 through 2037, according to an Interlune news release.

#Bluefors has agreed to purchase up to 10,000 liters of #Helium3 annually from #Interlune 2028–2037 to secure supply for #quantum #technology.
Helium-3 is extremely scarce on Earth but abundant on the #Moon, where Interlune plans to harvest it using lightweight, energy-efficient lunar extraction systems.
The deal aims to stabilize the #QuantumComputing supply chain as demand for helium-3 rises with the growth of dilution refrigerators & large-scale quantum computers.

A single liter costs a few thousand dollars. Because there is no magnetosphere around the #Moon 🌙, it's believed there are large quantities of #helium3 gas trapped in pockets of the #lunar regolith. #Interlune is working toward the launch of a demonstrator mission in 📆 2026 that will sample the lunar regolith, measure the helium-3 quantity, and then attempt to extract some of it. https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/03/mining-helium-3-on-the-moon-has-been-talked-about-forever-now-a-company-will-try/

"Helium-3 is the only resource out there that is priced high enough to support going to the Moon and bringing it back to Earth," Meyerson said in an interview. "There are customers that want to buy it today."
VERY excited about this development.
