AstroForge
Unlocking deep space resources through asteroid mining
AstroForge is a commercial space startup developing low-cost, replicable spacecraft to mine asteroids for platinum group metals and other critical minerals. The company has already launched its first deep space mission and is planning a second mission in 2026 targeting the first-ever private landing on a body outside the planetary gravity well. Their goal is to reduce dependence on terrestrial mining by tapping the vast mineral wealth found in near-reach asteroids.
AstroForge builds replicable, low-cost spacecraft that travel into deep space to locate and extract metals from metal-rich asteroids.
