## About

Founded in 2018 and based in Israel, Helios Project Ltd. operates as a space resource industry that develops emission-free steel production solutions for future space habitation and earthly technological advances. In June 2022, Helios Project LTD. raised USD 6 million in Seed funding from At One Ventures, Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, and Metaplanet Holdings. Jonathan Geifman is the founder and CEO of the company.

The company provides space technologies including the Molten Regolith Reactor, which separates the abundant oxides found all over the Martian and lunar surfaces into oxygen and various metals such as iron, aluminum, titanium, and more; metals: parts fabrication; oxygen: storage capabilities; metals: on-site construction; oxygen: delivery to Earth orbit; facilities for storage and accommodation; resource transportation; and surface tiles and roads.

The firm offers earth technologies, such as the Helio furnace, for steel production, which emit large amounts of CO2 through the reduction of iron ore with carbon. Helios is also developing a reactor that can process lunar soil and Martian soil into oxygen and metals.

The organization plans to use the June 2022 funding to spread its market globally and further develop its technology.
