Asteroid mining is the exploitation of raw materials from asteroids and other minor planets , including near-Earth objects . [1] Minerals and volatiles could be mined from an asteroid or spent comet then used in space for in-situ utilization (e.g. construction materials and rocket propellant) or taken back to Earth . These include gold , iridium , silver , osmium , palladium , platinum , rhenium , rhodium , ruthenium and tungsten for transport back to Earth; iron , cobalt , manganese , molybdenum , nickel , aluminium , and titanium for construction; water and oxygen to sustain astronauts; as well as hydrogen, ammonia, and oxygen for use as rocket propellant. |

Asteroid mining refers to the possibility of exploiting raw materials from asteroids and other minor planets , including near-Earth objects . [1] Minerals and volatiles could be mined from an asteroid or spent comet then taken back to Earth or used in space for construction materials. Materials that could be mined or extracted include iron, nickel, titanium for construction, water, and oxygen to sustain the lives of prospector-astronauts on site, as well as hydrogen and oxygen for use as rocket propellant. In space exploration , using resources gathered while on a journey is referred to as in-situ resource utilization . |

Asteroid mining refers to the possibility of exploiting raw materials from asteroids and other minor planets , including near-Earth objects . Minerals and volatiles could be mined from an asteroid or spent comet to provide space-construction materials (e.g., iron, nickel, titanium), to extract water and oxygen to sustain the lives of prospector-astronauts on site, as well as hydrogen and oxygen for use as rocket fuel. In space exploration , these activities are referred to as in-situ resource utilization . |

Asteroid mining refers to the possibility of exploiting raw materials from asteroids and planetoids in space, especially near-Earth objects . Minerals and volatiles could be mined from an asteroid or spent comet to provide space construction material (e.g., iron, nickel, titanium), or to return to Earth (e.g., platinum and cobalt ), to extract water and oxygen to sustain the lives of prospector-astronauts on site, and to extract hydrogen and oxygen for use as rocket fuel. Even a relatively small metalic asteroid with a diameter of 1 mile can contain more than $20 trillion US dollars worth of industrial and precious metals. [1] |
