  • Need gas giant orbit.
  • Need interface orbit.
  • Cannot depower.
  • Max one per Hab.
Notes
The Helium-3 Mine module can be placed in interface orbit of a gas giant. It allows spaceships with an appropriate drive to use waterWater in place of fissilesFissiles as propellant, and in some cases to refuel at gas giants with a Remass Scoop.
