Ukr Asteroid Mining
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.
Heated rods by applying a voltage melt the icy surface and are deepened by 1-2 cm. After that the ‘wings’ of double plates of each rod go to the sides forced by additional voltage. Each rod is fixed, creating robust mount with the surface of the asteroid. When we have several dozens of rods, we can reduce to minimum the risk of rebound - regardless of surface relief structure and its density, actuation or triggering of each rod.
