Resources that are finite on our planet 'are abundant in the universe,' AstroForge CEO Matt Gialich told IE in an interview.
AstroForge recently launched its Brokkr-1 satellite to test its asteroid refining process in space.
AstroForge, the California-based startup that recently launched a space mining test aboard a SpaceX rideshare mission, is looking ahead toward a future in which all of the resources we need can be plucked out of the sky. "This mission will continue to orbit the earth until we finish all of the characterization testing we want to complete with our refining system," Gialich continued.Brokkr-1 will essentially vaporize and sort the pre-loaded material into its elemental components, using the same method AstroForge eventually intends to use on real space rock material.
If all goes to plan, Brokkr-2 will make AstroForge the first private space company to operate this type of mission in deep space. The company also already has a clear idea of the materials it will target in space. Gialich emphasized, however, that any breakthrough achieved by AstroForge would owe a huge debt to the hard work of others that came before.
