According to a research published in Planetary and Space Science, minerals such as platinum metal, including platinum, paladim and roddim, probably at the same time as the asteroids on the moon. They areScattered They are.
Space mineral extraction has become a popular trend in recent years, and several companies and investments are trying to make a profit from the industry that may reach thousands of billion dollars. Researchers and investors are interested in the idea claiming that extraction in space is for human benefit because access to the metal in the Earth’s crust is limited.
Martin Elvis, one of the authors of the research, says: An eighth iron in the asteroid belt is one million times more than the iron ore reserves on Earth, and such reserve in space is probably enough for several centuries.
Researchers have now claimed They are The openings on the moon are probably worth a few thousand billion dollars and can be extracted instead of sending the probe to the asteroids that circulate around the sun.
Mission planned for extracting metals from the moon may also have advantages as this technology can be used in parallel to extract water from the moon in long space exploration. In a new study, researchers examined the craters caused by the asteroid collision of the moon to estimate the amount of platinum group metals that may be on the planet’s surface.
Although most asteroids that collide in the moon evaporate, much of the space cliffs remain in some circumstances. The large, complex openings on the moon are probably a place where the remnants of such asteroids can be found on the moon.
Researchers estimate that many of the moon’s openings are likely to be caused by such asteroids. According to them, about 5 months of the moon with a diameter of more than one kilometer may contain the metals of the platinum group.
