About this award
This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Honeybee Robotics, Ltd. for $698,647. The contract is a grant for research to develop technologies for harvesting oxygen from lunar regolith, which can be up to 40% oxygen by mass. This work supports the Artemis lunar exploration program and future in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) missions. Honeybee Robotics is a subsidiary of Ensign-Bickford Industries, a global leader in energetic and aerospace solutions. The company has previously received federal contract and grant awards from NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security to advance drilling systems, robotic interfaces, and other technologies for space exploration. This grant does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2025.
Description
The most readily available oxygen source on the moon is the lunar regolith itself. IT can be harvested and electrolyzed anywhere on the surface, and the regolith is almost 40% oxygen by mass. Artemis and future in-situ resource utilization (isru) missions will likely perform tests on such electrolysis systems
