Positioning

Interlune is a US lunar-resource company (led by ex-Blue Origin president Rob Meyerson) pursuing helium-3 harvesting for quantum-computing cooling (a $20M/kg pricing thesis), with named customers before flight (a DoE sample-delivery agreement) and a harvesting system in ground development (a NASA-partnered survey camera flying on Astrolab's FLIP, excavation tech with Vermeer). It is on the winning NASA CLV-1 team (May 2026), though it has no flight yet, and USGS astrogeologists compare the scale to a major terrestrial copper mine at parts-per-billion concentrations. It is pre-revenue.
