The Conversation U.S.Lots of our electronics are made with materials that are starting to be hard to find, or are only available in hard-to-reach places. Instead, some companies are looking outside of our planet to gather these precious metals and minerals, specifically in asteroids.
Asteroids like Psyche – which is being explored by NASA – represent a great opportunity but it won’t be easy to mine them.

NASA's robotic prospectors are helping scientists understand what asteroids are made of – setting the stage for miners to follow someday
Upcoming NASA missions will help scientists understand the composition of asteroids – which could inform companies one day hoping to commercially mine asteroids.
