Electric Power System Options for Robotic Miners

  • Chapter
Asteroids

Abstract

Exploration and exploitation of asteroids is a technological and economical challenge envisioned and pursued by public and private organizations across the world. Space exploration is driven by science, space exploitation is in the end driven by commercial - maybe strategic - considerations. While the goals of exploration and exploitation may thus be different, the technological challenges and approaches are often very similar.
