Asteroid Mining




Several near earth asteroids have value over 1 Trillion Dollars USD


Asteroids can contain anything from iron, platinum, silver, gold, water, silicone and more can be mined from asteroids easier than on Earth. Lightweight, high temperature solar ovens will revolutionize material refining.

Asteroids contain carbonaceous chondrites in different concentrations, water can be extracted and separated to use for life support for spacecraft and space settlements.

Space weathering can change the outer layers of asteroids. Nature Astronomy published a paper A dehydrated space-weathered skin cloaking the hydrated interior of Ryugu.
