processing. hGCV is composed of titanium dioxide that is to be extracted along the
ilmenite ore. hGV is operatively affixed on the lunar regolith of a terrestrial satellite - the Moon.
Apeiron’s extractor will be used in order to grind through the ilmenite ore. This grinding is achieved
by the robotic arm attached with a grinder that crushes through lunar regolith, bringing in smaller
and substantially adequate in size chunks of the ore. Within the grinder, consists of a lube of vacuum
pump, that removes the required lumps of ore to be loaded to a connective chamber. Momentarily,
the loaded ore will be dropped by an attached conveyor belt within the chamber onto the conveyor
belt within the hGCV. A parabolic solar collector, SR, attached to the hGCV chamber will result in the
ore being exposed to heat production. SRs are designed to receive the direct solar radiation, thereby
simultaneously concentrating the radiation to the ore, magnifying the of Sun's solar energy, forcing
the gaseous substances (inclusive of ³He) to vaporise from the ilmenite ore.
The mechanism of SRs is based on the basic concept of reflection, exaggerated by the parabolic effect.
The parabolic characteristic is given by an array of concave mirrors of large area that concentrate the
solar rays on the receiver tube that is located in the focus.
He-3 can be extracted from ilmenite ore at a temperature of between about 200 degrees Celsius and
1000 degrees Celsius. Essentially, the temperature responsible for the maximum yield is noted to be
at 600 degrees celsius by the direct propagation of solar radiation, inaugurating the effect maximised
by the parabolic effect, where most gaseous substances, inclusive of a higher percentage of helium,
