space mining technology

Space mining technology involves extracting valuable resources from celestial bodies like asteroids and the Moon. This process relies on robotic spacecraft and advanced equipment to identify and collect materials, such as water, metals, and rare elements. Water can be used for life support and fuel, while metals can support construction and manufacturing in space. The technology encompasses various fields, including robotics, propulsion systems, and resource processing, aiming to support future space exploration and potentially create a sustainable economic model beyond Earth. By tapping into these off-world resources, we can alleviate some pressures on Earth's finite resources.
