| Title : | ASTRA : Asteroid Mining Technologies Roadmap and Applications | | Material Type: | ISU Team Project reports | | Publisher: | International Space University | | Publication Date: | 2010 | | Pagination: | xiii, 82 p. | | Layout: | ill. | | Size: | 30 cm | | General note: | Includes bibliographical references. | | Languages : | English (eng) | | Descriptors: | Asteroids ; Asteroids--Materials ; Mining ; Nonterrestrial resources ; Outer space--Exploration ; Space industrialization ; Space manufacturing
| | Class number: | TN291.3 | | Abstract: | This project is an investigation of issues and solutions related to the mining of asteroids. Its focus is on mapping out the fields of physical science, engineering, life science, policy, business and social impact as they pertain to the overarching goal of establishing a mining infrastructure in space. This study culminates in a roadmap facilitating more specific work on the exploitation of near-Earth resources. Included in this investigation is the identification of what makes an asteroid a preferred candidate for mining, as well as preliminary mission concepts and legal implications. Finally, a study on the economic viability of asteroid mining affords perspective into the development of a business plan to deliver asteroidal materials such that their monetary value is preserved. | | Host institution : | International Space University, Strasbourg | | Host country : | France | | ISU program : | Space Studies Program | | Record link: | http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=7537 |
