AstroForge

AstroForge develops low-cost spacecraft that track, land on, and mine metal-rich asteroids in deep space. The company targets platinum group metals (PGMs) like platinum, which are far more concentrated in asteroids than on Earth. It uses technologies such as lasers and magnets to process asteroid material into usable metals, powered by solar energy. Recent missions include deep-space tests, with plans for commercial asteroid landings.
