Black Moon Energy Corporation
Houston company that says it plans to recover helium-3 from lunar regolith and return it to Earth as a prospective fusion fuel. In 2026 it announced a contract to supply helium-3 to the U.S. Department of Energy Isotope Program and a planned robotic lunar survey mission, Fusion 1, with JPL and Caltech; TAE Technologies announced a prospective helium-3 supply agreement with it in August 2026. No DOE or JPL record of either announcement was found, and the sources reviewed describe plans, not flight hardware or a booked lander.

Demonstrated
None established. The sources reviewed describe plans and agreements; no hardware test, flight, lander booking, regolith sample or helium-3 recovery is described.
Claimed or planned
Black Moon says it will extract lunar helium-3 and deliver it to Earth, and that by 2029 it will scout a production zone on the Moon. It says JPL and Caltech will lead robotic systems, instruments and operations for its Fusion 1 mission, which would survey an equatorial area and sample regolith to quantify helium-3 and test excavation and processing. It announced on 18 March 2026 a contract to supply helium-3 to the DOE Isotope Program. TAE Technologies announced on 5 August 2026 an agreement under which Black Moon would supply helium-3 to TAE as a prospective fuel supply option.

- No DOE-published record of this contract was found; quantity, price and delivery date are not stated in the release.
Open evidence gaps
- No U.S. Department of Energy record of the helium-3 supply contract was found; Black Moon's release states no quantity, price or delivery date.
- No JPL or Caltech record of the Fusion 1 engagement was found; no lander, launch date or mission funding is established.
- Corporate registration, state of incorporation and founding year were not checked; legal identity rests on Black Moon's own releases and TAE's release.
- TAE describes a prospective supply option and a collaboration; quantities, prices and delivery dates are not stated, and an option is not a delivery commitment.
- Company planning statements differ: TAE's release says one robotic lunar delineation mission within five years, while the company website mentions up to two delineation missions and scouting a production zone by 2029.

Earlier this year, BMEC announced its engagement of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Caltech to lead robotic systems, scientific instrumentation, data acquisition, and mission operations for the company's inaugural Fusion 1 Mission.
The mission will conduct the first systematic survey of an operational area in the equatorial regions of the Moon, directly sampling and analyzing lunar regolith to quantify Helium-3 resources and test excavating and processing procedures for production and return of the resource to Earth.
