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,
