Michael Dello-Iacovo and Serkan Saydam* say humans have big plans for mining in space – but there are many things holding us back.
Like Earth, planetary bodies such as the Moon, Mars, asteroids and comets contain substantial deposits of valuable resources.
This has caught the attention of both researchers and industry, with hopes of one day mining them to support a space economy.
But setting up any kind of off-Earth mining industry will be no small feat.
Let’s look at what we’re up against.
When you think of off-Earth mining, you might imagine extracting materials from various bodies in space and bringing them back to Earth.
But this is unlikely to be the first commercially viable example.
If we wanted to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon, as NASA has proposed, we would need to resupply astronauts living there.
Resources such as water can only be recycled to an extent.
At the same time, resources are extremely expensive to launch from Earth.
As of 2018, it cost about A$3,645 to launch one kilogram of material into low Earth orbit, and more to launch it higher, or onto the Moon.
It’s likely materials mined in space will be used in space, to help save on these costs.
Harvesting materials required on-site is called “in-situ resource utilisation”.
It can involve anything from mining ice, to collecting soil to build structures.
NASA is currently exploring the possibility of constructing buildings on the Moon with 3D printing.
Mining in space could also transform satellite management.
Current practice is to de-orbit satellites after 10–20 years when they run out of fuel.
One lofty goal of space companies such as Orbit Fab is to design a type of satellite that can be refuelled using propellant collected in space.
Even for low-Earth orbit satellites, the energy required to reach them from the Moon is less than that needed to reach them from Earth.
What resources are out there?
When it comes to off-Earth mining opportunities, there are a few resources that are both abundant and valuable.
Some asteroids contain vast amounts of iron, nickel, gold and platinum group metals, which can be used for construction and electronics.
Lunar regolith (rock and soil) contains helium-3, which may become a valuable resource in the future if nuclear fusion becomes viable and widespread.
British company Metalysis has developed a process which could extract oxygen from lunar regolith.
Ice is expected to exist on the Moon’s surface, at permanently shadowed craters near its poles.
We also think there’s ice beneath the surface of Mars, asteroids and comets.
This could be used to support life, or be broken down into oxygen and hydrogen and used as propellant.
How would we mine in space?
My (Michael’s) PhD thesis involved testing how exploration techniques would operate on the Moon and Mars.
Our other work has included economic modelling for ice mining on Mars, and computer modelling on the stability of tunnels on the Moon.
Some proposals for off-Earth mining are similar to mining on Earth.
For instance, we could mine lunar regolith with a bucket-wheel excavator, or mine an asteroid using a tunnel boring machine.
Other proposals are more unfamiliar – such as using a vacuum-like machine to pull regolith up a tube (which has seen limited use in excavation on Earth).
Researchers from the University of New South Wales Sydney and the Australian National University propose using biomining.
In this, bacteria introduced to an asteroid would consume certain minerals and produces a gas, which could then be harvested and collected by a probe.
Our work at UNSW’s Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research involves finding ways to reduce risks in a space resources industry.
Needless to say, there are many technical and economical challenges.
The same launch costs that have so many eager to begin off-Earth mining also mean getting mining equipment to space is expensive.
Mining operations will have to be as light as possible to be cost-effective (or even feasible).
Moreover, the further something is from Earth, the longer it takes to reach.
There is delay of up to 40 minutes when sending a command to a Mars rover and finding out whether it was successful.
The Moon only has a 2.7 second delay for communications, and may be easier to mine remotely.
Near-Earth objects also have orbits similar to Earth, and occasionally pass by Earth at distances comparable to the Moon.
They’re an ideal candidate to mine as they require little energy to reach and return from.
Off-Earth mining would need to be mostly automated, or remotely controlled, given the additional challenges of sending humans to space – such as needing life support, avoiding radiation, and extra launch costs.
However, even mining systems on Earth aren’t fully automated yet.
Robotics will need to improve before asteroids can be mined.
While spacecraft have landed on asteroids several times and even retrieved samples – which were returned to Woomera in South Australia, during the Hayabusa 1 and 2 missions – our overall success rate for landing on asteroids and comets is low.
In 2014, the Philae lander sent to comet 67P/Churyumov/Gerasimenko famously tumbled into a ditch during a failed landing attempt.
There are also environmental considerations.
Mining in space may help reduce the amount of mining needed on Earth.
But that’s if off-Earth mining results in fewer, and not more, rocket launches, or if the resources are returned to and used on Earth.
Although collecting resources in space might mean not having to launch them from Earth, more launches may inevitably take place as the space economy grows.
Then there’s the question of whether proposed mining techniques will even work in space environments.
Different planetary bodies have different atmospheres (or none), gravity, geology, and electrostatic environments (for example, they may have electrically charged soil due to particles from the Sun).
How these conditions will affect off-Earth operations is still largely unknown.
While it’s still early days, a number of companies are currently developing technologies for off-Earth mining, space resource exploration, and for other uses in space.
The Canadian Space Mining Corporation is developing infrastructure required to support life in space, including oxygen generators and other machinery.
US-based company OffWorld is developing industrial robots for operations on Earth, the Moon, asteroids and Mars.
And the Asteroid Mining Corporation is also working to establish a market for space resources.

Good public policy that has a positive impact on the community must be based on sound evidence drawn from a diversity of sources, including input from a balanced cross-section of impacted or interested stakeholders that are equitably engaged in decision making.
Effective community engagement in public policy making can be tough to perfect. A range of issues can hinder the process, including:
Genuine community engagement in the co-production of policy and services requires public servants to be skilled enablers, negotiators and collaborators. You need to be able to engage select citizens in a thoughtful, deliberative decision-making process that considers all available evidence and interests, while remaining committed to ensuring the ideas generated shape decisions and outcomes.
This workshop is designed to address the issues public sector leaders face when trying to effectively engage communities on complex policy or service delivery issues. Australia’s DemocracyCo – an organisation with extensive expertise in community engagement – will show you how to strengthen your engagement processes and methods that encourage involved citizens to move beyond entrenched positions and interests, build trust, and engage in a dialogue that considers evidence, data and research to find practical ways forward.
This program is delivered online in a highly interactive and practical way using a range of methods including pre-recorded videos, live workshops, interactive webinars, theory and design clinics, and peer discussion groups.

Join us for an event with Dr David Gruen as he continues the conversation about the use of data in government.
In 2020, not long after he was appointed Australian Statistician, Dr David Gruen presented at an IPAA ACT event on the ‘Promise of data in government’. He spoke about integrated public-sector data assets, the importance of maintaining the community’s trust in the safe handling of public-sector data and the upcoming Data Availability and Transparency Bill.
Two years on, Dr Gruen is reigniting this discussion, reflecting on the transition from ‘the promise of data in government’ to ‘realising the potential of data in government’, noting the pandemic has accelerated the use of data to meet public-policy challenges.
Dr Gruen will explore the critical role data has played in responding to the pandemic, the huge acceleration in data use across government, and the future of collaboration in deriving public value from data. He will conclude by drawing attention to the value the appropriate use of data can play in Australia’s future.
Dr Gruen will be joined in conversation by IPAA ACT Board Member and Deputy President, Cheryl-anne Moy.
