The Earth has limited material and energy resources while these
resources in space are virtually unlimited. Further development of
humanity will require going beyond our planet and exploring of
extraterrestrial resources and sources of unlimited power. Thus
far, all missions to asteroids have been motivated by scientific
exploration. However, given recent advancements in various space
technologies, mining asteroids for resources is becoming ever more
feasible. A significant portion of asteroids value is derived from
their location; the required resources do not need to be lifted at
a great expense from the surface of the Earth. Resources derived
from Asteroid not only can be brought back to Earth but could also
be used to sustain human exploration of space and permanent
settlements in space. This book investigates asteroids' prospective
energy and material resources. It is a collection of topics related
to asteroid exploration, and utilization. It presents past and
future technologies and solutions to old problems that could become
reality in our life time. The book therefore is a great source of
condensed information for specialists involved in current and
impending asteroid-related activities and a good starting point for
space researchers, inventors, technologists and potential
investors. Written for researchers, engineers, and businessmen
interested in asteroids' exploration and exploitation. Keywords:
Asteroids, Asteroid exploration, Asteroid exploitation, Energy
sources, Space Resources, Material Resources, In-Situ Resource
Utilization, Mining
