BOXABL Unveils Rego-Brix for Lunar Radiation Shielding

In a bold step toward sustainable off-world living, BOXABL has unveiled Rego-Brix, a modular radiation-shielding concept that leverages lunar regolith to protect future moon habitats from galactic cosmic radiation. The company, known for its foldable Casita homes, showcased the concept in its video “DON’T DIE ON THE MOON (Part 2) - Rego-Brix by BOXABL.” Rego-Brix features foldable, nestable components that can be transported efficiently and filled on-site with locally sourced lunar material, drastically reducing the need to launch heavy shielding materials from Earth. This innovation is designed as a companion system to BOXABL’s UFO foldable habitat concept, potentially creating a comprehensive framework for deployable off-world housing paired with locally sourced radiation protection.

BOXABL holds patents related to Rego-Brix and intends to make the technology available on a royalty-free basis, signaling a commitment to open collaboration for space exploration. 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. This merger marks a significant milestone for BOXABL as it expands beyond terrestrial housing into space habitats. On Earth, BOXABL’s flagship product, the Casita, is a 361-square-foot studio unit that unfolds on-site in less than an hour, while the Baby Box offers a smaller 120-square-foot unit built to RV code. The company is also developing stackable models for townhomes and multifamily units.

BOXABL’s foray into space technology, alongside its existing housing solutions, underscores its mission to address housing challenges both on Earth and beyond. By offering Rego-Brix royalty-free, BOXABL is fostering innovation in space habitat protection, potentially accelerating humanity’s ability to establish a permanent presence on the Moon.
