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. The concept was presented in the company's 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 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.
This announcement is significant as it addresses a critical challenge for long-term lunar habitation: protection from harmful cosmic radiation. By using lunar regolith, the concept could drastically reduce the cost and complexity of building sustainable habitats on the Moon. The royalty-free licensing approach may accelerate adoption and collaboration across the space industry, potentially influencing future NASA and commercial lunar missions. Furthermore, the merger with FG Merger II Corp. positions BOXABL to access public capital markets, supporting its broader mission to revolutionize housing both on Earth and in space.
