Industrial Capabilities in Space

  • Future development of industrial capabilities on the Moon and in deep space is expected, specifically focusing on the extraction of silicon, aluminum, iron, and titanium via electrolysis and 3D printing of complex structures from molten regolith.
  • These extractions performed on the lunar surface utilizing molten regolith are projected to be more efficient than terrestrial counterparts due to the absence of structural supports.
  • Y Combinator plans to receive applications from entities working on space-based industrial capabilities.
