Space Resource Technologies

Mining water on the Moon could be a key source of in-space propellant and life support consumables for space habitation and exploration in the near future. Two critical steps in the process chain of turning raw, extracted lunar water into these consumable resources is collection and distillation in order to purify and deliver the water to downstream processing systems and points-of-use. Developed under NASA’s Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program (https://lnkd.in/gqhCsC35), Paragon’s ICICLE technology, or “ISRU Collector of Ice in a Cold Lunar Environment,” accomplishes both of these steps at the same time. Check out this video to see how. For more resources, see our publications: https://lnkd.in/dDmYn22Y, https://lnkd.in/d-Kvc-4Q. Contact us to learn more: info@paragonsdc.com”

Witness the sunset from the Moon - our final gift from #BlueGhost Mission 1! We’re honored to share these breathtaking views of the lunar horizon glow with the world as our mission concludes. The NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration team is excited to analyze these images further and share more of the findings. #BGM1

Sunsets hit differently on the Moon! More images below of the horizon glow that comes to life just above the Moon’s surface as the sun goes down. This milestone embodies all the achievements from this historic Firefly mission. Thank you #BlueGhost for the final goodbye. Until next time! #BGM1

Welcome back Crew-9 ???

#BlueGhost signing off with one final message from the Moon. Thank you for the unforgettable journey. ?? #BGM1

GO LISTER! This NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration payload, developed by Texas Tech University and Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company, began drilling into the surface shortly after landing to determine the heat flow from the interior of the Moon.

We're sending a new crew to the International Space Station this month! NASA's SpaceX #Crew10 mission, commanded by astronaut Anne McClain, is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, March 12. Watch live with us on NASA+ and check out the full schedule: https://lnkd.in/eQ65JN4k

It’s not déjà vu – there’s another Moon landing this week! Tune in to NASA+ to watch Intuitive Machines’ lunar lander, Athena, touch down on the Moon no earlier than 12:32 p.m. EST (1732 UTC) March 6. https://lnkd.in/eSNtRmKb

#BlueGhost has been busy since parking on the Moon! Just in the last two days, the data we've downlinked jumped from 27 GB to 57 GB as we continue NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration payload operations. This includes deploying Lunar PlanetVac and sampling lunar regolith, deploying the Electrodynamic Dust Shield and demonstrating dust mitigation, capturing images from SCALPSS, and continuing operations for the other payloads.
