BOXABL has introduced Rego-Brix, a modular radiation-shielding concept designed to utilize lunar regolith to help protect future moon habitats from galactic cosmic radiation. Presented in the company’s video, “DON’T DIE ON THE MOON (Part 2) — Rego-Brix by BOXABL,” the concept features foldable, nestable components that can be transported efficiently and filled on-site with locally sourced lunar material to create protective barriers around living quarters, reducing the need to launch shielding materials from Earth.
Rego-Brix is envisioned as a companion system to BOXABL’s UFO foldable habitat concept, creating a potential framework for deployable off-world housing paired with locally sourced radiation shielding. BOXABL said it holds patents related to the Rego-Brix concept and intends to make the technology available on a royalty-free basis. The company is currently completing its merger with FG Merger II Corp. (NASDAQ: FGMC), which is expected to result in the combined company trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol BXBL.
BOXABL is transforming the housing market with its modular building systems designed to deliver affordable, high-quality homes at unprecedented speed. Founded in 2017, BOXABL’s innovative approach has attracted worldwide attention as it aims to solve housing challenges for individuals and communities alike. BOXABL’s flagship product, the Casita, is a 361 square foot studio unit with a full kitchen, bathroom, and utilities. The Casita unfolds on-site in less than an hour and is manufactured inside BOXABL’s facilities. BOXABL also has announced the Baby Box, a smaller 120 square foot unit built to RV code, intended for simpler, no foundation-setups. BOXABL is also developing stackable and connectable box models that can be combined to form townhomes, multifamily units, or larger single-family homes.
The Rego-Brix concept addresses a critical challenge for long-term lunar habitation: protecting astronauts from harmful galactic cosmic radiation. By using regolith, the loose soil and rock on the moon’s surface, the system minimizes the need to transport heavy shielding materials from Earth, significantly reducing mission costs and complexity. This innovation could be pivotal for NASA’s Artemis program and other international efforts to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon.
BOXABL’s decision to offer Rego-Brix on a royalty-free basis underscores its commitment to advancing space exploration. The company invites collaboration with space agencies and private partners to develop the technology further. As the merger with FG Merger II Corp. progresses, BOXABL aims to leverage public markets to accelerate its terrestrial and extraterrestrial housing solutions.
