We’re proud to welcome @c_iacomini as the Interlune program manager for the @Astrolab_Space Crewed Lunar Vehicle (CLV-1) team! 💪 🎉

As you might have heard, Interlune is part of the team delivering the Astrolab lunar rover to support astronaut operations and science activities on the Moon.

Interlune has an experienced team, and Christie takes it to another level.

She has decades of experience spanning NASA, Blue Origin, Paragon Space Development Corporation, and Lockheed Martin, where she, among other things:

🔷 Simulated and flight-tested gliding parachutes for NASA’s X-38/CRV program
🔷 Developed the flight suit that protected record-setting skydiver Alan Eustace from the freezing temperatures and near-vacuum pressure of the stratosphere
🔷 Hired and led the early development team for Blue Origin’s Blue Moon (now Mk1) lander

At Interlune, she’ll lead the team of engineers and scientists that will define the lunar environment, design a detailed regolith simulant, and oversee testing for the Astrolab CLV-1.

Jeff Bezos' @blueorigin space venture wins a @NASA contract to send two crew-carrying moon buggies to the lunar surface, with the first delivery set for as early as 2028. The buggies will be built by @Astrolab_Space and @LunarOutpostInc. @FireflySpace also won a contract to drop off NASA's rocket-powered drones for future #MoonBase missions. https://t.co/ROYUz3j9e7 H/T @NASAMoonBase @InterluneSpace

[Astrolab @Astrolab_Space]

We are proud to be partnering with @Axiom_Space, @OdysseySpaceRes and @InterluneSpace to deliver CLV-1 and related services capable of supporting NASA crewed and robotic surface missions.

Thanks also to strategic partner @Venturi Space who is providing important technology to CLV-1 like tires and batteries.

[Interlune @InterluneSpace]

What a momentous occasion! Just moments ago, the team was gathered at Seattle HQ to celebrate the announcement of Interlune as part of the @Astrolab_Space team for the @NASA Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). Dubbed CLV-1, the Astrolab rover will provide mobility services for the Artemis program.

We’re proud to be a member of the team, along with @Axiom_Space, @OdysseySpaceRes, and @Venturi, that will deliver the LTV to NASA’s Moon Base by 2028.

The task order is valued at approximately $219 million, and Interlune will work with Astrolab on many aspects of the rover development, involving the science of survival in the lunar environment.

The Interlune Research Lab (IRL) in Houston will develop and test regolith simulants specifically for CLV-1.

Congratulations to the entire Astrolab team and the rest of the awardees today! Read more here. https://t.co/eyvnkcbj6x

Last month, we turned up the heat on teambuilding at the workshop @ForgeLawless in South Seattle.

Interluners became blacksmiths for a day, hammering and hand-forging red-hot metals. What can we say? It was fire. ❤️‍🔥

We were excited to talk with @SquigglyVolcano about helium-3 and its role in the future of quantum computing.

The piece in @sciam, edited by @LeeBillings, delivers in true Andrews style — technically sound and conversational, with a dash of humor. ☺️ Treat yourself to the whole story. https://t.co/lQLEFSVO9H

Launching aboard our FLIP rover, @interlunespace’s multispectral camera will be used to estimate helium-3 quantities and concentrations in lunar regolith. Developed in partnership with NASA, the camera will produce images that will be used to detect titanium.

[Interlune @InterluneSpace]

Well that was fast.

⏳Ten years ago, quantum computing was experimental. It lived in labs. Hardware was fragile. Funding was focused on research.

⌛Today, hundreds of quantum processors are being deployed globally, from national labs to startups and major tech companies. Governments are standing up billion-dollar quantum programs across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

📈In less than 10 years, the world went from “can we?” to “how fast?” Now, it’s estimated to grow into a market worth roughly tens of billions of dollars per year.

But scaling quantum requires a scalable and reliable supply chain. Securing helium-3, a rare isotope used in supercomputing cooling infrastructure, is one of the critical materials needed for that supply chain. It’s found in limited quantities on Earth, but abundant on the Moon.

At Interlune, we’re building technology to separate helium-3 from existing helium supplies on Earth now, while developing systems to harvest it from lunar soil to support the long-term scalability of the quantum industry.

These efforts will help unlock the quantum industry—and we’re thrilled to be working in partnership with:

We’ve come so far since founding Interlune; it’s great to pause for a moment and contemplate where it all started: with a problem to solve.

How do you build a lunar economy and eventually an in-space economy? Rob Meyerson was honored to sit down with the venerable @jacobgoldstein for an episode of "What’s Your Problem?" The podcast about exploring solutions to the most pressing problems of our time.

In this episode, Rob discusses why reusable rockets are only the first step toward lower-cost space missions; how Interlune’s space resources vision can unlock quantum computing, fusion, and the in-space economy; and what it was like to work for Jeff Bezos at @blueorigin.

If you haven’t yet discovered What’s Your Problem?, it’s produced by @pushkinpods, founded by Jacob Weisberg and Malcom Gladwell, and distributed by @iHeartMedia.

Launching aboard our FLIP rover, @InterluneSpace's multispectral camera will estimate helium-3 quantities and concentrations in lunar regolith. Developed in partnership with NASA, the camera produces images that can predict helium-3 quantities without bringing it back to Earth.

[Interlune @InterluneSpace]

Last week, CEO Rob Meyerson sat down with Pillsbury Winthrop’s @SaharHafeez27 to talk about the importance of helium-3 as a natural resource.

Attendees noted how closely our plan to harvest natural resources from space mirrors the challenges we’re seeing across supply chains here on Earth. We agree!

Thank you, SAFE, for putting on a great conference, and thank you, Sahar, for the great conversation!
