It is only a matter of time, before planetary resources are mined and used in-situ to sustain human and robotic exploration or returned to Earth for commercial gain. This book covers a number of aspects related to space resources. In particular, subjects related to mission concepts, exploration approaches, mining and extraction technologies, commercial potential, and regulatory aspects of space resources are covered in detail. This book is therefore a good resource for readers who seek background and deeper understanding of space resources related activities.Aerospace engineeringAstronauticsSolar systemPlanetary scienceAstronomy—ObservationsAerospace Technology and AstronauticsSpace PhysicsPlanetary ScienceAstronomy, Observations and TechniquesAerospace engineering.Astronautics.Solar system.Planetary science.Astronomy—Observations.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Space Physics.Planetary Science.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.605622.0999Badescu ViorelZacny KrisBar-Cohen YosephMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910720073403321Handbook of space resources3418786UNINA
