Dream - Asteroid named Psyche 16 is very rich in precious metals. NASA has launched a mission to that large asteroid with a journey that takes about 6 years.

This Giant Asteroid Contains a Treasure that is Worth Tremendous Amount, Ready to Wait for Investors to be Mined

Although it contains highly valuable metals, NASA's exploration mission aims to further understand how the interior of the asteroid is formed. However, the most surprising thing about Psyche 16 is the estimated value of the asteroid, which reaches US$100,000 quadrillion. Psyche 16 can be considered as a gold mine due to its abundance of rare elements.

This Asteroid contains platinum and palladium, components that are very important for automotive and electronic devices. Due to its high economic value, we might want to explore and even settle in outer space.

This needs to be done in order to be able to mine the asteroid. But we still need material resources from outside of Earth. Several companies, such as AstroForge and TransAstra, are thinking of ways to mine asteroids like Psyche 16. But the question now is, how close are we to realizing the dream of being able to mine asteroids in outer space?

According to Philip Metzger, a physicist from the University of Central Florida, the technology is almost ready.

The only difference between mining on asteroids and on Earth is the need for equipment that can withstand low gravity and high radiation. Additionally, this equipment must be able to work autonomously without human intervention. Imagine, it takes more than 20 minutes for instructions from radio waves to reach the asteroid.

Although the technology has been developed and tested in the laboratory, it is not yet fully ready for implementation.

According to Philip, the only thing that cannot be realized at the moment is the issue of funding. If all funds are allocated now, it is likely that we will see small-scale asteroid mining within five years.

Expensive Mining Costs

Meanwhile, Kevin Cannon from the Colorado School of Mines stated that the development in asteroid mining is likely to come from the private sector. However, it is still necessary to provide an understanding to potential investors as to why we need to engage in asteroid mining.

But Cannon understands the concerns of potential investors because bringing material back to Earth is considered economically questionable. "It would be very expensive to do so because the price of platinum group metals is actually declining at the moment," he said.

"Benefits of Mining in Asteroids"

However, asteroids may become an important source of materials for space technology development. For example, by extracting air from asteroids, we can separate it into hydrogen and oxygen. Both gases can be used as rocket fuel to fill spacecraft.

"While metals mined from asteroids can also be transformed into large structures in space. Cannon asserts that there is no magical technology that we need to create to mine asteroids. 'The technology already exists. It's more about the willingness to do it and providing the funding to carry it out,' he concluded."
