Ore Collector

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.

How to collect material from an asteroid in vacuum and near 0 G environment? You cannot use vacuum cleaner -type collector in a vacuum. Mechanical scoop or similar collectors are obvious solution, But charging mechanically loosen material, and collecting it with opposite charge collector would be much "cleanier" way do asteroid mining. This could prevent dust to escape to near space and make mining difficult with poor visibility.
