A #Seattle #space startup called #Interlune has struck a deal to send a helium-hunting camera to the #moon aboard Astrolab's FLIP rover, which is due for launch as soon as this year. It'll be the first off-Earth step in Interlune's plan to deliver lunar #helium3 to paying customers. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/interlune-astrolab-camera-moon-helium-3/
