Maana Electric

Luxembourg company developing electrochemical processing of lunar regolith. ESA selected it for its space-resources accelerator, and Luxembourg's research fund documents its collaboration with the Technical University of Munich on lower-temperature molten-salt electrolysis. These are development activities, not lunar oxygen production.

Claimed

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

Resources and evidence

Each resource shows the highest step primary sources support. How the ladder works.

Demonstrated

The FNR describes laboratory research on electrolytes and materials for molten-salt electrolysis. The cited sources do not establish lunar-surface processing, a flight-ready reactor or commercial resource delivery.

Claimed or planned

ESA describes the accelerator project as developing silicon and oxygen co-production from regolith. FNR describes work to reduce electrolysis temperature and improve anode durability, with the aim of reducing the material and energy needed for future lunar use. Accelerator selection alone does not prove that a final implementation plan or co-funding award was approved.

Open evidence gaps

  • Current registry status, exact legal name and founding date have not been verified.
  • No named lunar flight, launch commitment or lunar oxygen-production result is established by these sources.
  • Final accelerator implementation-plan approval and a specific co-funding award are not established by cohort selection.
  • Reactor lifetime, inert-anode durability, energy demand and demonstrated production performance need specific experimental evidence.
