Completed TRL 5 (started at 4, targeting 5)
Skyre, also known as Sustainable Innovations, along with partner Meta Vista USA LLC, developed a system to make propellant from permanently frozen water located at the Moon’s poles, including processes to separate the hydrogen and oxygen, keep the product extremely cold and use hydrogen as a refrigerant to liquefy oxygen.
Proppelant liquefaction on the lunar surface is a key technology component to enabling in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the lunar surface. ISRU is considered key to achieving a sustainable exploration program. Water, and its oxygen and hydrogen elements, can be used for a wide variety of space applications including drinking and cooling water, breathing oxygen, fuel cell reactants, and especially LOX/LH2 for rocket propellants. The propellant application is particularly attractive
since propellants typically make up a large fraction of the lift-off mass of spacecraft and rockets.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
