Asteroids contain metals like platinum and cobalt, which are used in electronics and electric vehicle batteries, respectively. Space-resource advocates also want to explore the potential of other substances like space ice for spacecraft and rocket propellant, and space dirt for housing and radiation shielding.
The field of asteroid mining has seen a surge of interest in recent years, with companies aiming to leverage cosmic resources amidst advancements in technology and favorable regulatory environments.
