Planetary mining refers to the extraction of resources from celestial bodies, such as asteroids, moons, and planets. This process aims to gather valuable materials like metals, water, and other minerals that can be used for space exploration, manufacturing, and even supporting life in space. The concept has gained attention due to the potential abundance of resources in our solar system, particularly in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. Companies and space agencies are exploring technologies to make planetary mining feasible, which could revolutionize how we utilize resources beyond Earth.
