End of Earth mining
Earth
Phase O
Sets stage for Phase I testing. Starts on Earth and continues into LEO.
Phase I
Use sensors to support Earth mining and to advance our technologies to go further on Earth and in space.
Phase II
Use new propulsion tech to test beyond Earth systems and ID additional tech needs. Find new mining targets.
Phase III
Bring samples to Earth from a near Earth asteroid. Tests the integration of Lunasonde technologies, partner technologies, and communications, with the goal of reducing expansion of existing mines.
Phase IV
Main Mission – Through proven technologies and partnerships, forge ecologically sustainable mining in space.
