What We Do

We mine asteroids to extract platinum group metals (PGMs) in space at a lower cost and smaller carbon footprint than the current terrestrial mining methods. PGMs are critical to advanced manufacturing, clean energy technologies, and sustainable infrastructure, but are rapidly depleting on Earth. Traditional mining for these resources comes at high environmental and financial costs. Extracting these resources from asteroids is more cost-effective and results in zero impact on our planet, contributing to a greener and more profitable Earth. By leveraging advanced technology and innovative engineering, we’re pioneering a pathway to sustainable mining that eliminates the need for extensive land disruption, reduces energy-intensive processes, and significantly lowers carbon emissions.

Why Work With Us

Team members at AstroForge not only contribute to groundbreaking technological advancements but are also empowered to grow personally and professionally. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds and encourage new ideas and experimentation. Here, you’re part of a historic mission to change how the world thinks about our shared future in space.
