Lunar Helium-3 Mining (LH3M) secures five U.S. patents, leading in lunar helium-3 extraction. The isotope supports clean fusion energy and quantum computing. LH3M’s Moon-first technologies address lunar challenges, countering China’s ambitions. The company is working to ensure U.S. technological leadership.
Helium’s limited availability is pivotal to quantum computing, where ultra-low temperatures are essential to stabilize qubits. Supply disruptions and geopolitical factors have made this rare resource increasingly expensive and uncertain. As quantum technologies expand, so does the demand—and risk—around helium’s tenuous supply.
Interlune received a $365,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop energy-efficient technology for separating Helium-3 from domestic supplies, helping meet the growing demand in quantum computing, border security, and fusion energy.
