BOXABL has introduced Rego-Brix, a modular radiation-shielding concept that utilizes lunar regolith to 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,” and 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. This approach reduces the need to launch shielding materials from Earth, which is a significant cost and logistical challenge for space exploration.
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. This move could accelerate the development of sustainable lunar infrastructure by allowing other organizations to use the technology without licensing fees.
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 merger is a critical step for BOXABL as it seeks to bring its innovative housing solutions to a broader market, both on Earth and potentially in space.

BOXABL is transforming the housing market with its modular building systems designed to deliver affordable, high-quality homes at unprecedented speed. Founded in 2017, the company’s innovative approach has attracted worldwide attention as it aims to solve housing challenges for individuals and communities alike. BOXABL’s flagship product, the Casita, is a 361 square foot studio unit with a full kitchen, bathroom, and utilities. The Casita unfolds on-site in less than an hour and is manufactured inside BOXABL’s facilities. The company has also announced the Baby Box, a smaller 120 square foot unit built to RV code, intended for simpler, no-foundation setups. Additionally, BOXABL is developing stackable and connectable box models that can be combined to form townhomes, multifamily units, or larger single-family homes.
The introduction of Rego-Brix highlights BOXABL’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of modular construction, extending its expertise from terrestrial housing to space habitats. By leveraging lunar regolith for radiation shielding, the concept addresses one of the most significant hazards for long-term human presence on the Moon: exposure to galactic cosmic radiation. This could be a key enabler for sustainable lunar bases, supporting NASA’s Artemis program and other international efforts to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon.
