Key Lunar Resources

MoonMinerals.io specializes in the identification, extraction, and tokenization of essential lunar materials that will enable space industrialization and sustainable off-world habitation.

Potassium Feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈)

Applications: Agriculture, glass manufacturing, and ceramics.

Use in ISRU: Extracted for its potassium content, which can be refined into fertilizers for lunar greenhouse farming and structural materials for lunar construction.

Silica Minerals (Quartz, Cristobalite, Tridymite)

Applications: Solar panels, glass production, and semiconductors.

Use in ISRU: Purified silica minerals can be used to manufacture high-strength glass, optical components, and photovoltaic cells.

Olivine ((Mg, Fe)₂SiO₄)

Applications: Magnesium and iron extraction, silicon refining.

Use in ISRU: Potential feedstock for silicon production for use in energy storage, electronic components, and advanced alloys.

Zircon (ZrSiO₄)

Applications: Radiation shielding, high-performance ceramics, advanced electronics.

Use in ISRU: Zirconium-based materials are key for nuclear shielding, spacecraft thermal protection, and structural reinforcements.
