Ethos Space Corp.

U.S. company developing lunar-regolith melting and processing technology. A 2025 NASA Phase I SBIR award supports proposed thermal-storage structures made from melted regolith. Ethos also describes vacuum-chamber work on molten regolith; the reviewed sources do not establish completed award milestones, lunar deployment or commercial material production.

Claimed

An organization's level is recorded separately and is not a ranking of its linked missions' results. How the ladder works.

Demonstrated

The government portfolio records a $147,773 NASA Phase I award for Lunar In-Situ Thermal Wadis. The award describes proposed simulations, equipment design and a small regolith-simulant vacuum demonstration; it is not a report of achieved results.

Claimed or planned

Ethos describes melting, electrolysis and purification of regolith for construction materials, propellant and solar-grade silicon, and states that molten-regolith work is tested in its lunar-environment chamber. Test metrics and lunar performance remain unverified.

Open evidence gaps

  • No current registry extract or primary founding-year record was retrieved.
  • No government milestone acceptance, final report or independently measured vacuum-processing performance was found in the reviewed sources.
  • No assigned lunar flight, extraction permission or delivered lunar materials are established by these sources.
  • The 'other' resource entry represents the company's solar-grade-silicon objective; it is not demonstrated lunar silicon production.
