About

    Space resources refer to the materials and substances that can be found and utilized in outer space, such as minerals, water, and gases. The exploration and utilization of space resources is an emerging field of research that has the potential to significantly impact space exploration and commercial activities. Scientists and engineers are studying how to extract and process these resources from celestial bodies such as asteroids, the moon, and Mars, in order to support future human missions and potentially create a sustainable space economy. The development of space resources could reduce the cost and risk of missions, enable longer-duration space travel, and create new opportunities for space-based industries.
