Helios' vision is to make humanity multiplanetary. Launchers are already here, lunar landers are just around the corner, the next step in the chain is to develop technologies that can utilize the resources on site, first to drastically reduce the cost of initial base establishment, and eventually to enable the colonists to "live of the land".

Our mission is to develop and provide space agencies and NewSpace companies the technology to utilize resources on the surface of the Moon and Mars.
While embarking from earth onto celestial destinations, the weight limitation of equipment and materials to be sent to space due to high cost restricts chances for long term extraterrestrial human presence. Only by adopting in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technologies, the space agencies and industry could realize their vision to set permanent Lunar and Martian bases.
Helios is developing a Molten Regolith Electrolysis reactor to separate and collect the vast amount of oxygen available in the surface soil and to cast alloys for establishing infrastructure.
By doing so, Helios will provide a robust, sustainable and eventually earth-independent technology that could materialize an old humankind dream to live among the stars.
