Asteroid Mining
It's still too expensive and difficult to mine asteroids today. But in the future, asteroids and dwarf planets in our solar system could become new sources for materials used in manufacturing, energy production, or supporting humans living in space. When you imagine your asteroid mining machine, you're doing a little bit of science.

Asteroid Mining
The mining approach varies a function of an asteroid size. For small asteroids of less than about 20 m in diameter, the spacecraft may capture it with a system of gripping arms and airbags. The mining operation would involve rendezvous with the target asteroid and orienting the spacecraft longitudinally at its pole along its axis of rotation.
