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 important because it addresses a critical challenge for long-term lunar habitation: protection from harmful cosmic radiation. By using in-situ resources, Rego-Brix could significantly reduce the cost and complexity of establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon. BOXABL’s decision to offer the technology on a royalty-free basis may accelerate adoption and collaboration within the space industry.
Founded in 2017, BOXABL is transforming the housing market with its modular building systems designed to deliver affordable, high-quality homes at unprecedented speed. The company’s flagship product, the Casita, is a 361 square foot studio unit with a full kitchen, bathroom, and utilities that unfolds on-site in less than an hour. BOXABL also has announced the Baby Box, a smaller 120 square foot unit built to RV code, and is developing stackable and connectable box models that can be combined to form larger structures.
