Bioregenerative Systems for Our Lunar and Mars Futures

About

The Interplanetary Regen Network (IRN) is a multi-party U.S. consortium focused on the collaborative development of bioregenerative systems, advanced in-space construction techniques, and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technologies to sustain human presence beyond Earth.

Purpose

IRN develops and commercializes bioregenerative technologies, advanced in-space construction, and related ISRU capabilities that enable long-duration human presence beyond Earth. By combining closed-loop ecological systems with bio-enhanced materials and orbital fabrication, the Network advances:

  • Integrated life support systems

  • Regenerative habitats

  • In-situ resource utilization (ISRU)

  • Novel composites and structural materials

  • Technologies optimized for cislunar, lunar, and Mars environments

What IRN Offers

IRN bridges rigorous research and development (R&D) with innovative and practical business development. The Network accelerates technology maturation, supports joint responses to government and commercial opportunities, and creates scalable pathways that strengthen the New Space Economy while delivering tangible solutions for future lunar and Mars settlements.

Collaborative Focus Areas

  • Bioregenerative life-support systems and closed-loop ecological architectures

  • In-space construction technologies and large-structure fabrication

  • Lunar and Mars resource extraction, processing, and utilization systems

  • Joint proposals to NASA, DoW, commercial stations, and international partners

  • Shared testing, prototyping, analog campaigns, and demonstration projects

  • Development of manufacturing and deployment capabilities
