With uses such as superconducting quantum computing, weapons detection in national security, medical imaging, and developing clean fusion energy, we’re keeping an eye on it. 👀

For decades, our only supply of helium-3 has come through the decay of tritium, a radioactive hydrogen isotope with a 12-year half-life.

Zero chill.
Last week, Head of Product James Antifaev joined @bluefors.com leaders in Tysons, VA, at Quantum World Congress.
When they weren’t busy deciding the future of quantum (which is what happens at this event), they had a blast being IRL instead of juggling global time zones.

That’s us! Harvesting helium-3 from the Moon to power quantum computing here on Earth. 👋✨

The Interlune team went to “Paint and Sip.” The facilitators said to paint “little happy trees.” All we heard was “lunar regolith.”
Off-topic, but on-brand.

To harvest helium-3 from the Moon, Interlune must be able to efficiently and continuously excavate and process high volumes of lunar regolith.
