Melt. Extract. Fuel. Repeat. 🚀
To build an affordable, sustainable presence on the Moon, we must learn to live off the land. Air Pioneer is a scalable, modular system that creates purified oxygen to reduce dependency on supplies from Earth. Using Moon-extracted oxygen for propellant, fuel cells, and breathing reduces our lunar landers’ load by many metric tons of mass. Launching less mass from Earth lowers the cost of our Moon base, fueling a future cislunar economy. 🌕
Melt. Extract. Breathe. Repeat. 🧑🚀
From Moon dust to fresh air, our Air Pioneer technology turns lunar regolith into breathable oxygen, ready for astronauts returning to the Moon. At our Space Resources Center of Excellence in LA, we developed a reactor (left) that melts regolith simulant and passes a current through it to release oxygen and other gases. The gases flow into the purification system (right) and emerge as medical- and propellant-grade oxygen. A flight-qualified Air Pioneer at this same scale could provide the first breath of life for a sustainable Moon base. 🌕
Lunar Permanence will require using resources on the Moon rather than hauling them from Earth. Our in-situ resource utilization system extracts oxygen from lunar regolith to create breathable air for astronauts and propellant for refueling landers and fuel cells. It also produces iron, aluminum, silicon, construction materials, and even solar power systems. The materials for a Moon base are produced right where they’re needed, and at much lower cost than being brought from Earth.
Hey everyone, last week's awesome episode with special guest @morganhendry doing a live #eurorack#Modular set is now up to stream and DL. Enjoy! https://t.co/j8rRHEb0Pz
I'll be performing around 9 pm PST on @induce1's @dublab show. Stream at the site if you'd like to join! If the planets align, expect a new #eurorack#modularsynth piece and the live debut of two tracks from my new record Longcove. https://t.co/jbEHAAuyHg

I'll be performing some live #eurorack#modularsynth music on @induce1's show on @dublab radio tomorrow night from 8-10 pm! Maybe also something from my new record...?
Here are a few tracks and artists that influenced the writing and production of my new release Longcove. It is my empathetic response to #climatechange denial, and will be available March 30th at https://t.co/9ARonnSQRL and everywhere music is sold online. https://t.co/GawaBSqGio
