Interlune digs into opportunities for lunar construction
Interlune is leveraging a $150,000 NASA contract to develop develop lunar trenching and excavation technology — and although the primary goal is to extract valuable helium-3 from moon dirt, the project also signals the company’s broader play for lunar infrastructure.

Seattle-based #Interlune was created to seek out and harvest #helium3 and other resources on the #moon - but now it's also aiming to help #NASA build base camps and other infrastructure on the lunar surface. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/interlune-excavator-helium-3-moon-construction/ #Space #Artemis

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.

#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.

Bluefors to source helium-3 from the Moon with Interlune to power next phase of quantum industry growth - Interlune

#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.

Bluefors Enters Deal to Secure Lunar Helium-3 Supply From Interlune

Bluefors agreed to purchase up to 10,000 liters of helium-3 annually from Interlune between 2028 and 2037.

The Quantum Insider

Interlune, americký startup založený skupinou veteránů kosmického průmyslu, si klade za cíl zrealizovat první komerční vytěžení vzácného izotopu helia-3 přímo z měsíčního regolitu. Tento ambiciózní plán slibuje otevřít novou kapitolu v technologickém rozvoji a energetice a může znamenat zásadní krok směrem k efektivnímu využití mimozemských surovin.
