Insider Brief
Interlune demonstrated its Cold Capture technology can produce 99% pure helium-3 from Grade A helium using cryogenic separation methods.
The company says the technology could increase U.S. helium-3 availability for applications including superconducting quantum computing systems.
Interlune is developing Cold Capture for terrestrial helium processing while targeting future helium-3 extraction from lunar resources.
Press release – Interlune, a space infrastructure and resources company, today announced that its Cold Capture technology has demonstrated production of 99% pure helium-3 from Grade A helium. When deployed broadly, the novel technology could triple the current U.S. supply of this critical isotope for use in quantum computing. Helium-3 is strategically important for national defense and advanced computing applications, but extremely rare on Earth.
