The next frontier of resources is already overhead.
Thousands of near-Earth asteroids hold water, iron, nickel and precious metals. Today every kilogram used in space is launched from Earth, and many critical metals are mined at great cost to the planet. We think there is a better way.
- Expand what's possible in spaceResources sourced in space make missions longer, cheaper and more ambitious.
- Relieve pressure on EarthNew sources of critical metals can reduce the environmental footprint of terrestrial mining.
- Build a lasting industryA responsible, commercially sustainable space-resources economy, built step by step.
One integrated approach, from asteroid to customer.
Most efforts address a single piece of the puzzle. Asteron ORE is designed as a complete, autonomous system covering the full journey.
Reach
Autonomous spacecraft that travel to and meet selected near-Earth asteroids.
Extract
Harvesting water and ore in low gravity, powered by the sun.
Refine
Turning raw material into useful products on site, including clean propellant and concentrated metals.
Deliver
Supplying customers in space, and safely returning high-value materials to Earth.
Markets on Earth and in orbit.
Asteron's innovations are built for space, and many of them also apply to industries on the ground. That creates paths to value long before the first asteroid delivery.
Precious metals
Global platinum-group metals market (2025).1 These metals are essential for clean energy, electronics and industry.
Space resources
Projected market for resources produced and used in space by 2030.2
Terrestrial applications
Clean hydrogen, cryogenic storage, metals refining and secure logistics can benefit from the same innovations.
Early, focused and building.
Asteron was founded in 2026 to make asteroid resources practical. We are assembling the partners, advisors and investors who share that vision.
Founded in the United States
Innovations in our patent-pending portfolio
Our core system is protected by a U.S. patent application.
