Abstract

This chapter continues exploring what types of robotic mining systems and remote power generation capabilities will be needed to carry out space mining activities perhaps millions of kilometers away from Earth. Again this is no easy task, and these ventures to succeed will probably require new technology that is not only reliable and competent but also able to perform these tasks at reasonable costs, with reliability. The most interesting aspect of these challenges is whether the development of these new technical capabilities might even find their first applications right here on Earth.
