For Earth and Humankind
To unlock a trillion-dollar in-space economy
In pursuit of our mission to commercialize natural resources from space, Interlune is creating the fundamental infrastructure needed to operate on the Moon and beyond.

Immediate Market Demand
The most valuable resource in space
Rare on Earth but plentiful on the Moon, helium-3 has applications across multiple large industries.
01
Quantum Computing
Used to reach nearly absolute-zero temperatures where quantum computers are housed. Extremely low temperatures reduce interference in calculations and increase their accuracy.
02
National Security
Used in the devices that detect nuclear materials and clandestine weapons at borders and ports.
03
Clean Energy
Wide availability of helium-3 would make it a preferred fuel for fusion reactions, producing fewer higher energy neutrons than Tritium.
04
Medical Imaging
Hyperpolarized Helium-3 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) enables lung imaging with unprecedented detail to treat diseases such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. Unlike computed tomography (CT) scans, this approach does not expose patients to additional radiation, making it a safer and more effective imaging technique.
In time, Interlune will harvest other resources such as industrial metals, rare Earth elements, and water to support a long-term presence on the Moon and a robust in-space economy.

Commercial and Government Applications
Core intellectual property
Harvesting System
Equipment that’s smaller, lighter, and requires 10X less power to excavate regolith, sort by size, extract volatile gases, and separate helium-3.
Excavating and processing industrial quantities of regolith is fundamental to site preparation and construction on the Moon, Mars, or any planetary body.
Extreme Environment Survival
Highly specialized regolith simulants and testing capabilities for hardware verification on Earth.
Technologies for mitigation of dust from critical mission systems.
The Houston-based Interlune Research Lab (IRL) prepares machinery to withstand the extreme environments of the Moon or Mars.
Thermal control systems to radiate heat away from machinery and into space.
Interlune is developing thermal control systems to handle orders of magnitude greater heat loads than currently available.
Cargo Return
Transfer system and capsule to cost-effectively and reliably return cargo to Earth.
Interlune will return helium-3 and other cargo from the Moon multiple times per year.

A Universal Industrial Backbone
Thanks for the ride
Interlune is leveraging the unprecedented surge of investment and innovation in space exploration to build the technologies and systems to operate after we’ve arrived. The journey of 238,855 miles is well underway, and the world is waiting for what comes next.
With helium-3 as the commercial vehicle, Interlune will ensure the tremendous achievement of routine space access results in a sustainable, prosperous future for all.
Responsibility and Respect
We recognize that the Moon belongs to everyone. That’s why Interlune and its partners are committed to preserving and protecting the Moon while letting humankind benefit from its untapped resources.
