With the continued exploitation of human beings on earth valuable mineral resources eventually exhausted that day, so it was ready to "tentacles" extending to the outer space. According to the British "Daily Telegraph" 22 reported that a U.S. company has plans to send a mineral exploration spacecraft to outer space to find and collect the resources available for human use.
"Firefly", "Dragonfly" extraterrestrial mining
According to reports, the U.S. company called "outer space industry", the company held a news conference in California 22 said the plan starting in 2015 dispatched a fleet ship small spacecraft into space to explore whether there is available for the the human industrial metal and silicon and other mineral various asteroids. It is reported that this small spacecraft weighs about 25 kg, the name "Firefly".
The company envisaged starting in space exploration fleet for 10 years, "Firefly" will be detected after the asteroid in various metal ores, and aerospace engineering materials, such as used in the construction of the outer space communications platform and solar panels, the materials needed like.
In addition, the spacecraft will also find and collect rare or precious mineral, transported back to Earth for sale. These rare minerals can be used to control metal pollution technology, and can be used for flight in outer space planets energy.
The company said the initial task of "Firefly" Fleet screening fly near Earth asteroid, these spacecraft will first of all stretched out into outer space scaffold hooks communications satellites around the earth, and to save energy consumption .
From 2016 onwards, the company will also send weighing about 32 kg of "Dragonfly" spacecraft to outer space, the main task is to collect mineral samples from the right asteroid and returned to Earth for scientists to analyze.
Outer space can be used directly in the base station construction
The company believes that the minerals collected from the asteroid is expected for aviation projects, including the construction of the outer space base station needs a variety of metal raw materials, as well as available energy and equipment spaceship. As a result, these minerals will greatly reduce human detection outer space, such as the cost of exploring Mars action.
Explained: "if we can collect this type of mineral raw materials, and then analyze and manufacturing used in the aviation industry, will play an enormous role in the company responsible for Mark Song Special."
CEO David Gump added to the direct use of mineral resources, collected from outer space asteroid the outer space aviation base station allows the repair and construction of simplified, do not have to transport materials from the earth, will become " can be the only way to permanently support the development of space enterprise. "
It is reported that the company even wants to be found on the asteroid such as gold, platinum and other precious metals, collected and then sent back to Earth sale. However, the ambitious plans of the company's success, and have built chaired able to obtain sufficient funds on the basis of.
Rick Tomlinson, Chairman of the Board considered sufficient for the company's plans, "surprising, we firmly believe that we are sitting on the difficult language to describe a lot of resources.
