Space Resources Roundtable

Given the rapidly increasing interest on In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) activities for the Moon, Mars, and asteroids from space agencies around the world, the private sector, academic institutions, and from recent legislation introduced for space-resources commercial exploitation, this meeting will provide a unique and timely forum for discussion of the near- and long-term opportunities for space resources.

The Space Resources Roundtable (celebrating its 20th anniversary this year!) brings together space professionals, natural resources industry personnel, financial and legal experts, policy analysts, and entrepreneurs interested in developing the resources of space, including the Moon, Mars, asteroids, comets, and other bodies of the Solar System. The goal of the Space Resources Roundtable is to advance prospects for the development of space resources through information exchange among government, industry, and academia from around the world.

The purpose of the Planetary & Terrestrial Mining Sciences Symposium is to promote a closer relationship between the space and mining sectors. The intent is to allow mining experts to network with space scientists and engineers, to share knowledge, and to foster collaboration.
