Lunar Helium-3 Mining Planner

Power requirements for regolith mining + volatile separation. Mass driver launch economics for ³He fusion fuel export. Standalone high-value lunar export stream planner. Pairs with Lunar Mass Driver Simulator and solar tools.

Mining + Export Inputs

Regolith processed (tons / lunar day)

He³ concentration (ppb by weight)

Solar power available (MW) — tie to Global Solar

Mining energy (kWh / ton regolith)

Separation energy (kWh / kg He³)

Export value ($M per kg He³)

Sensitivity (mining/yield multiplier)

³He is ultra-dilute. Sensitivity for tech/regolith variance. Use mass driver for export.

Mining + Economics Results

POWER BREAKDOWN vs SOLAR AVAILABILITY (lunar daylight window)

Yield curve & revenue scale with regolith throughput. Export launches sized for ~0.5 kg canisters.
