Space mining is the collection of raw materials from their natural location, which is allowable under the Outer space Treaty. These materials can be reduced to possession, sale, trade, exploration, or scientific pursuits. The ores, stones, and even gaseous products are all found in the space mines. There are around 16,000 asteroids in the Earth’s orbit, and it holds approximately 2 trillion tones of water and many rich minerals and metals. All these materials are essential for us. The first space mining project was executed in 2016 by NASA. It involved the launch of the OSIRIS-Rex rover to the nearby asteroid Bennu, collecting the samples, and bringing them back to Earth. The total cost of the project was around 1.16 billion dollars.
