A lunar space-resources startup founded by former Blue Origin president Rob Meyerson with Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt, aiming to extract helium-3 from lunar regolith and return it to Earth for quantum-computer cooling and future fusion fuel. In 2026 it won a NASA contract to build a gas-extraction payload; separately, in May 2025 the US Department of Energy agreed to buy three litres of its lunar helium-3 — the first purchase of a non-terrestrial natural resource.
