Mission
Technology to extract oxygen and metals from lunar soil, cutting the cost of supplying a Moon base.
Helios develops space resources technologies, specifically to extract oxygen and metals from the lunar soil. The big space agencies, SpaceX, Blue Origin etc all aim to establish a permanent lunar base in the coming decade and one of the main bottlenecks is the extremely high cost of sending materials from earth to the moon. The only viable way to realize this endeavour is by utilizing resources on site and dramatically reducing the cost of sourcing materials for the base.
