Interlune, the first company to commercialize natural resources in space, by collecting materials from the Moon to help fuel progress and innovation back on Earth.
“Interlune, a natural resources company, today announced its first commercial customer. Maybell Quantum, the quantum infrastructure company, has agreed to purchase thousands of liters of helium-3 for yearly delivery from 2029 to 2035.”

Interlune created new tools and methods to find and bring these materials home, something that’s never been done before.
One of its first targets is helium-3 – rare on Earth but common on the Moon. It’s needed by several major industries.

The equipment is small and light enough to launch in a single trip, and it uses 10 times less power than other systems. The technology is patent-pending.
Over time, Interlune will expand to gather more valuable materials, like industrial metals, rare Earth elements, and water, to support long-term Moon missions and a growing space-based economy.
CEO Rob Meyerson said:
“For the first time in history, harvesting natural resources from the Moon is technologically and economically feasible. Now we embark on a new era of lunar exploration to create an in-space economy that will sustain humanity for millenia.”
