About
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.
Problem
Terrestrial mining of platinum group metals has low margins, limited supply, and high environmental costs, while demand continues to outpace supply.
For
investors, engineers, and industries reliant on critical minerals
How it works
AstroForge builds replicable, low-cost spacecraft that travel into deep space to locate and extract metals from metal-rich asteroids.
