Energy and ISRU Technologies for Space Exploration
Maana Electric designs and develops innovative energy and In-Situ Resource Utilization systems for space applications. Leveraging expertise in high-temperature processes, electrochemistry and energy harvesting, our technologies support power generation, material extraction and infrastructure sustainability beyond Earth.
Silicon and Oxygen from Unprocessed Regolith Electro-Chemical Extraction
SOURCE is a space-adapted molten salt electrolysis technology designed to extract silicon and oxygen directly from planetary regolith. Building on terrestrial electro-metallurgical know-how and re-engineered for the space environment, SOURCE enables in situ production of critical materials for power generation, structural components and life-support systems, reducing dependence on Earth-supplied resources and supporting long-duration planetary missions.
Accelerated Combustion of Metals for Exothermic Heating
ACME technology is designed to keep lunar payloads operational during the harsh, freezing nights by harnessing high-exothermic combustion to generate heat, as shown in the video. Unlike other systems, ACME makes use of reactants extracted from planetary regolith to produce heat, keeping critical systems at survival temperature.
