Gas Mining

Gas-scavenging methods

• Identification of areas of Lunar Regolith enriched in specific elements or isotopes (e.g. Helium3)
• Coldtrap ice deposits mapping
• University led expeditions to areas of interest
• Maintenance of priority short-lists of potential outpost and settlement sites to tap various resources or various topographical advantages
• High power source to heat regolith to high temperature
• Fractional distillation to separate gasses with different boiling points
• Superleak method to separate isotopes
