ateroids coming age resources

Develop an approach for characterizing the composition of asteroid for mining potential and a process for mining different compositions. Explore a possible division of labor involving different types of vehicles (e.g. sensor units, drilling units, power gathering and distribution, extracted resources handling and transferring). Consider solutions for moving said asteroids between different orbits and/or consequently make periodical adjustments to keep them in place. Analyze how your idea would cope in some of the given scenarios or outline a scheme of your own.

basically we are talking about extraction of elements from asteroids. if we put an asteroid in earth orbit by putting a little spacecraft on it with ion thrusters. afterwards we can extract metals by sending robots or by mond process.
