Datos históricos recién publicados revelan detalles intrigantes sobre un proyecto secreto estadounidense de la época de la Guerra Fría conocido como Laboratorio Orbital Tripulado (MOL, por sus siglas en inglés), informa el portal Scientific American. Su desarrollo empezó en diciembre del 1963 y duró hasta su cancelación en junio del 1969. De acuerdo con algunas estimaciones, el programa costó 1.560 millones de dólares.

A pesar de que el programa nunca llegó a lanzar ninguna estación espacial tripulada, durante los casi seis años en que estuvo vigente se llevaron a cabo multitud de actividades relacionadas con la remodelación de la nave espacial de dos asientos Gemini de la NASA, el desarrollo del vehículo de lanzamiento Titan-3C y la construcción de un sitio de lanzamiento MOL en la Base Vandenberg de la Fuerza Aérea en California.

Mientras tanto, las filtraciones señalan que al principio ni siquiera los propios arquitectos del proyecto sabían en qué consistía MOL. "¿Es un laboratorio o una nave de reconocimiento operacional? (¿o un terrorista?)", dice uno de los documentos recién desclasificados por la Oficina Nacional de Reconocimiento de EE.UU. (NRO, por sus siglas en inglés).


Las herramientas y funciones superpotentes del MOL

De acuerdo con los documentos, las funciones previstas para las tripulaciones del MOL incluían actividades de reconocimiento bajo el nombre en clave de 'proyecto Dorian', un sistema de cámaras superpotentes que podía cubrir fotográficamente la Unión Soviética y otros lugares con una resolución mayor que la del mejor sistema no tripulado de la nave espacial de primera generación de la NRO, la Gambit, que existe actualmente.

No obstante, los documentos históricos sugieren que muchos otros proyectos estaban en la agenda del MOL, incluyendo el uso del radar de visión lateral, la evaluación de equipos de recopilación de inteligencia electrónica y el montaje y mantenimiento de grandes estructuras en el espacio. También se discutió el uso en el proyecto de un sistema de "rechazo de misiles" transportado por el MOL, que utilizaría ojivas no nucleares; así como la inspección de satélites y el encapsulamiento y la recuperación de naves enemigas, que podría haber sido realizada con la ayuda de dispositivos netos propulsados por cohetes.

En cuanto a los miembros de la tripulación, se consideró clave una unidad de maniobra a distancia para acercarse a un objetivo y circunnavegarlo, mientras el astronauta se mantenía a una distancia suficiente "para prevenir el daño provocado por una defensa activa o un objetivo minado".

Sin embargo, a pesar de la desclasificación del documento, de casi 20.000 páginas, incluso hoy en día la mayoría de los aspectos de la iniciativa MOL se mantienen en secreto.

Si encuentran un asteroide hecho todo de oro seguro que ahí si es negocio pero creo que vamos a tener que seguir escarbando nuestro propio planeta.
El tema es que en la naturaleza las cosas no se encuentran así. Pensá que todo lo que está en asteroides viene de los restos de supernovas que se juntan. Uno saca porcentajes. Y depurar en el espacio exterior es ridículamente difícil. Por no hablar de que son máquinas que son pesadísimas y gigantes. Si me dijeras que vamos a poner una colonia en Ceres y conquistar el cinturón de asteroides, quizás ahí si vale la pena. Pero para traerlo de vuelta a la tierra es carísimo. Si hoy por hoy el mejor precio que existe para GSO (no GTO) es de 30.000USD/kg (y no se cuál). Y digamos que GSO requiere la misma energía que EML1 (cosa que no estoy seguro). Después tenés que ir hasta el asteroide y volver (digamos que sos super eficiente y lo podés hacer por el 50% de masa). Estás en 60.000usd/kg. La tonelada de oro puro cuesta 35.000 USD. Y todavía no contamos el costo de las purificadoras ni la cápsula que trae el material a la tierra ni su refacción y envío a órbita alta nuevamente. Ni que hablar de entrar en temas de financiación y costo del dinero.
Digámoslo de otra manera. Para traer muestras de la luna, estamos hablando de millones de dólares por kilo. ¿Qué material hay en el espacio exterior, que en cantidades significativas, valga millones por kilo? E incluso si bajáramos el costo a 1%, estamos hablando de cientos a decenas de USD por kilo.

Mejor invertimos en ver como sacar energía del sol en el espacio y ver como reenviarla a la tierra.

Eso se esta hablando bastante. Hay un paper que presento el mes pasado el Dr. Sowers de ULA al respecto. Y los japoneses han invertido bastante en estudiarlo. A mi no me termina de convencer. Como siempre, yo trato de evaluar todas las alternativas.
Por poner un ejemplo, los cientificos suelen decir que desarrollar la fusion nuclear al nivel comercial costaria 80 millardos de USD. Yo digo que calculemos 120.
Si lo pensas, es lo que se espera que cueste la primer mision a Marte. Y si no tiene la complicacion regulatoria de la energia nuclear, quizas se pueda hacer por 4000usd/kW.
La solar desde el espacio todavia no es rentable. La pregunta es que ganas ahi arriba respecto a poner paneles aca. Bajar la energia y pasar la atmosfera es algo que tenes que hacer de todos modos. Quizas tengas un poco menos de perdidas en microondas que en luz visible, pero tenes que convertila y regularla dos veces.
La ventaja principal es que practicamente trabaja todo el tiempo, y y la podes mandar focalizada a altas latitudes. Pero entiendo que hasta que los paneles solares de calidad espacial estan por arriba de 40% de eficiencia (hoy estan en 15 a 18%) y el costo del kg en GSO baje a menos de 5,000usd/G (hoy esta en 20 a 30) no va a tener sentido.

Es que va a llegar a un momento donde los recursos de la Tierra no son suficientes. Y ahí van a empezar a traer los asteroides. Ni hablar que si o si hay que hacer minería espacial para asentarse en Marte, la Luna y Ceres.
Hoy día los depósitos de plomo están agotándose, dentro de 30 años no quedarán minas rentables para extraer plomo si no se encuentran nuevos.
Para el 2025 se proyecta la entrada en decline de la producción de Zinc y Cobre y para 2050 Aluminio y Hierro.

Los asteroides presentan grandes concentraciones compactas y muchas veces más puras que en la tierra de todo mineral necesario. Hay ya un asteroide identificado cuyos recursos superan los 60 billones de dólares.
El 2012 DA14 fue valuado en 20 billones de dólares, hay asteroides de hierro-niquel muy puros ahí, esperando a ser tomados. Un pequeñó asteroide de platino de unas pocas decenas de metros podría suplir toda la demanda del siglo XXI y hacer caer los precios para ser usado en más aplicaciones y abaratar los productos.

"We're going to go to the source," Anderson said. "The platinum-group metals are many orders of magnitude easier to access in the high-concentration platinum asteroids than they are in the Earth's crust."

And there are a lot of precious metals up there waiting to be mined. A single platinum-rich space rock 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide contains the equivalent of all the platinum-group metals ever mined throughout human history, company officials said.

Small, water-rich near-Earth asteroids can be captured by spacecraft, allowing their resources to be extracted, officials with the new company Planetary Resources say.
Credit: Planetary Resources, Inc.Planetary Resources, Inc. intends to sell these materials, generating a healthy profit for itself. But it also aims to advance humanity's exploration and exploitation of space, with resource extraction serving as an anchor industry that helps our species spread throughout the solar system.

"If you look at space resources, the logical next step is to go to the near-Earth asteroids," Planetary Resources co-founder and co-chairman Eric Anderson told SPACE.com. "They're just so valuable, and so easy to reach energetically. Near-Earth asteroids really are the low-hanging fruit of the solar system."





Planetary Resources is officially unveiling its asteroid-mining plans at 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT) Tuesday (April 24) during a news conference at Seattle's Museum of Flight.






Precious metals and water

Two of the resources the company plans to mine are platinum-group metals and water, Anderson said. [Images: Planetary Resources' Asteroid Mining Plans]

Platinum-group metals — ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum — are found in low concentrations on Earth and can be tough to access, which is why they're so expensive. In fact, Anderson said, they don't occur naturally in Earth's crust, having been deposited on our planet over the eons by asteroid impacts.

"We're going to go to the source," Anderson said. "The platinum-group metals are many orders of magnitude easier to access in the high-concentration platinum asteroids than they are in the Earth's crust."

And there are a lot of precious metals up there waiting to be mined. A single platinum-rich space rock 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide contains the equivalent of all the platinum-group metals ever mined throughout human history, company officials said.

"When the availability of these metals increase, the cost will reduce on everything including defibrillators, hand-held devices, TV and computer monitors, catalysts," Planetary Resources co-founder and co-chairman Peter Diamandis said in a statement. "And with the abundance of these metals, we’ll be able to use them in mass production, like in automotive fuel cells."





Will audacious asteroid mining projects like those of Planetary Resources open up a new space frontier?

Yes! Humanity is taking the next giant leap to the stars.

Maybe - Asteroid mining is super cool, but only results will matter.

No! Let's not strip-mine the solar system after the damage we've done to Earth.

Many asteroids are rich in water, too, another characteristic the company plans to exploit. Once extracted, this water would be sold in space, providing significant savings over water launched from the ground.

Asteroid water could help astronauts stay hydrated and grow food, provide radiation shielding for spaceships and be broken into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen, the chief components of rocket fuel, Anderson said.

Planetary Resources hopes its mining efforts lead to the establishment of in-space "gas stations" that could help many spacecraft refuel, from Earth-orbiting satellites to Mars-bound vessels.

"We're really talking about enabling the exploration of deep space," Anderson said. "That's what really gets me excited." [Future Visions of Human Spaceflight]

In addition to Page, Planetary Resources counts among its investors Ross Perot Jr., chairman of The Perot Group and son of the former presidential candidate; Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google; K. Ram Shriram, Google board of directors founding member; and Charles Simonyi, chairman of Intentional Software Corp., who has taken two tourist flights to the International Space Station.

Cameron serves the company as an adviser, as does former NASA space shuttle astronaut Tom Jones.

The plan

The company is not ready to break ground on an asteroid just yet. Before that can happen, it needs to do some in-depth prospecting work.

Of the roughly 8,900 known near-Earth asteroids, perhaps 100 or 150 are water-rich and easier to reach than the surface of the moon, Anderson said. Planetary Resources wants to identify and characterize these top targets before it does anything else.

To that end, it has designed a high-performance, low-cost space telescope that Anderson said should launch to low-Earth orbit within the next 18 to 24 months. This telescope will make observations of its own but also serve as a model for future instruments that will journey near promising asteroids and peer at them in great detail.

The prospecting phase should take a couple of years or so, Anderson added.

"We will then, at that time, determine which of these objects to pursue first for resource extraction, and what mission we'll be facilitating," he said. "Before you decide where to put the gas station, you've got to understand where the trucks are going to be driving by."

Mining activities will be enabled by swarms of unmanned spacecraft, according to company materials. Planetary Resources will focus on near-Earth asteroids, with no immediate plans to extend its reach to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or to the surface of the moon, Anderson said.

He declined to estimate when Planetary Resources would begin extracting metals or water from space rocks, saying there are too many variables to lay out a firm timeline. But a recent study sponsored by Caltech's Keck Institute for Space Studies estimated that a 500-ton near-Earth asteroid could be snagged and dragged to the moon's orbit by 2025, at a cost of about $2.6 billion.

Whatever Planetary Resources' exact schedule may be, Anderson said the company is already well on its way to making things happen.

"We're out there right now, talking to customers," Anderson said. "We are open for discussions with companies — aerospace companies, mining companies, prospecting companies, resource companies. We're out working in that field, to really open up the solar system for business."

A number of private companies — such as the billionaire-backed asteroid-mining firm Planetary Resources — aim to start making all of this happen. But it won't be easy, as hitting extraterrestrial paydirt requires melding the know-how of the space and mining communities.

A Space Resources Roundtable meeting was held here June 4-7 to talk about the future of extraterrestrial resource extraction — its promise as well as the challenges involved.

The conference was convened by the Planetary and Terrestrial Mining Sciences Symposium, in collaboration with Colorado School of Mines and the Lunar and Planetary Institute. [Photos: Planetary Resources to Mine Asteroids]


Testing in the field

Establishing a "cis-lunar highway" is on the agenda of Shackleton Energy Co.

By 2020, Shackleton hopes to become the world’s foremost space-based energy company, providing rocket propellant, life support, consumables and services in low Earth-orbit and on the moon to spacefarers. The firm's plan calls for using a mix of astronauts and advanced robotic systems to provide an ongoing and reliable supply of rocket fuel to customers in space.

Shackleton wants to establish off-Earth fuel depots, which would allow spaceships to refill their tanks on the go. The company hopes to stock these depots by mining the water ice in permanently shadowed lunar craters. (Water can be broken down into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen, the chief components of rocket fuel.)

"The meeting provided a comprehensive review of the state of the art of space resources analysis and extraction," said Jim Keravala, Shackleton's chief operating officer. "The opportunity for the community to come together, exchange ideas and establish partnerships proved valuable as the time draws near when all these techniques will be tested in the field."

Asteroid mining

The April launch of Planetary Resources was beyond the wildest dreams of those who created the group, said Chris Lewicki, the company's president and chief engineer. Public and investment interest in the firm has been overwhelming since its official unveiling, he said.

The company counts several billionaires among its backers, including Google moguls Larry Page and Eric Schmidt. Filmmaker and adventurer James Cameron is one of a number of high-profile Planetary Resources advisers.

The technology now exists to access resources from near-Earth asteroids, and Planetary Resources' mission is to make that happen, Lewicki said.

"It’s a shooting gallery out there…and there’s a lot out there in our favor," Lewicki told roundtable attendees. "Yes, we’re the asteroid mining company, but it’s a lot more than that."

Planetary Resources hopes its mining activities help spur a broader space economy, one in which many different companies are involved in space tourism, space-based solar power and off-planet resource extraction, Lewicki said.

The central, long-term aim of Planetary Resources, Lewicki said, is "taking the economic sphere of influence of all of us and moving it beyond the geostationary belt…which is where it currently, abruptly stops."

Tipping point?

All of this could happen sooner than many people think.

"We may be teetering on the brink of a tipping point," said Leslie Gertsch, deputy director of the Rock Mechanics & Explosives Research Center at the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

"Whether it’s truly a speedup, after decades of frustrated dreaming, or just a bump in the upward climb, the next five to 10 years will tell," she told SPACE.com.

Gertsch said that companies like Shackleton and Planetary Resources will "either grow to become actual resource producers…or fade into wannabe oblivion."

She noted that such groups appear to be planning more carefully than many have done previously, with much of the hand-waving replaced by viable business plans and systematic prospecting ideas.

Still, there’s more work to do. For instance, what’s the true value of a hefty asteroid — say, one 1,650 feet (500 meters) wide? At the moment, it's tough to say. It depends on the asteroid’s composition throughout, not just on its surface, Gertsch said.

"That sort of detail isn’t mundane … it’s utterly crucial," Gertsch added. No mining company can succeed unless it understands what is available. That is, where are the deposits, and which ones are extractable? What can they sell and what are the markets?

"At last serious groups of smart people are focusing on getting down to business for real," Gertsch said.

Investor-friendly environment

The roundtable produced a number of take-home messages, said Rob Mueller, a senior technologist in the Surface Systems Office at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

One of these is the need for a clarified legal situation, so there's no question about who owns resources extracted from asteroids or other celestial bodies.

"There is a shift in the space resources community towards more private industry involvement with a heavy emphasis on profit incentives," Mueller said. "The private companies need a legal framework that allows them to operate in an investor-friendly environment to minimize the legislative risk."

In this regard, Mueller said, a good analogy would be the early days of Alaskan mining when the legal framework was not clear, since Alaska had just been purchased from Russia and was not a state as yet. California had the same problem, he said.

Another message is the need to send out some bona fide prospecting probes to get things going.

"The next logical step is to land on the moon with a prospecting mission to confirm the presence of water, locate it and characterize its physical state," Mueller told SPACE.com.

Mueller mentioned the Regolith and Environment Science and Oxygen and Lunar Volatile Extraction, or RESOLVE, hardware, built to prospect for water and other volatiles on the moon’s surface. RESOLVE is a joint project of NASA and the Canadian Space Agency.

"It is looking for a ride, and a prototype is being tested on Mauna Kea in Hawaii this July," Mueller said.

NASA can’t afford not to invest in in-situ resource utilization, Mueller emphasized, since its goal is to land humans on Mars and the space agency’s Design Reference Architecture relies on in-situ resource utilization to make it feasible.

"ISRU could also open up a new economic sphere of influence, which could be strategically important in the future," Mueller concluded. [Future Visions of Human Spaceflight]

Control-Alt-Delete

Kurt Sacksteder, chief of the Space Environment and Experiments Branch at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Ohio, asked an intriguing question at the roundtable: Inserting space resources into the future of space exploration — do we need Control-Alt-Delete?

"It seems increasingly likely that the resources for fully implementing exploration visions will never be provided at a rate sufficient to make progress," Sacksteder said. "Existing NASA exploration architectures may never be funded for realization as envisioned."

Another key question is whether — and how — the emergence of serious private investment changes the role of government in space, Sacksteder said.

"Aggressive, well-financed private investment may be enabled by re-directed government attention to high-risk technology development and carefully designed space infrastructure," Sacksteder said. "Such a paradigm shift will need a lot of work to teach its value."

'A whole different game'

The Space Resources Roundtable has been meeting for more than a decade, but this year's gathering was different, attendees said.

"This is the first time that we see a larger contingency of the private sector coming here," said Angel Abbud-Madrid, director of the Center for Space Resources at the Colorado School of Mines here in Golden.

"It used to be that we would get all the NASA people discussing what the plans are and how we can contribute to that. But now it’s a whole different game….now it’s how can we get the private sector involved in all of this that we’ve been talking about for so long," Abbud-Madrid said.

Also, getting the government to appreciate the role that the private sector can play is key, Abbud-Madrid said. "I think that more and more, they are going to be taken more seriously…and that helps both sides."

SpaceX says Falcon 9 rocket is undamaged after historic landing

SpaceX made history last month when it landed a Falcon 9 rocket after launching its payload into orbit. Company CEO Elon Musk now reports that the rocket appears to be undamaged by its trip to space and back. While it looks like the rocket could easily be refurbished to fly again, that’s not the plan right now. SpaceX wants to keep this rocket on the ground as a memento — well, also for testing and study. A few new images of the recovered rocket have been posted as well.

No hace falta, la minería la va a acelerar mucho.

Ahora todos están desarrollando capsulas y cohetes pesados, mandando sondas para identificar sitios de interés. Luego quieren todos asentarse permanentemente en la Luna, mandar maquinaria y extraer agua para hacer combustible para ir a Marte y el cinturón de asteroides.
Mientras, ya están planeando seriamente capturar asteroides y experimentar el reposicionamiento.

Ésto termina con China, Rusia, USA, India, la UE haciendo prospección y reclamando los derechos de explotación por descubrimiento. Las empresas metiendo guita, estaciones espaciales que hagan de puerto entre la Tierra y Luna, la Luna un base de combustibles y en órbita se ensamblarán las misiones a Marte y el cinturón y los asteroides van a empezar a traerse a la órbita terrestre alta para ser minados con grandes cápsulas haciendo reentrada con cargas de puro oro, platino, cadmio, uranio, etc.

Mira como experimento, para acumular conocimientos, todo esta bien, ahora desde el punto de vista netamente económico, me parece que aun no dan los números, ahora si me hablas de algún material desconocido inexistente en la tabla periódica etc. es otro cantar, siempre que las propiedades de este material tengan utilidad.-
 
Sabés la plata que pueden inyectar asteroides que están valuados en 10 a 80 billones de dólares.
No por nada hay varias empresas y multimillonarios invirtiendo en ésto.
La abundancia de éstos materiales al punto de ser inagotables llevaría a la humanidad a una edad de oro. Todos esos recursos serían billones inyectados en la economía que de otra manera no estarían.

Leé los artículos de arriba.

Ojo con la malas traducciones. 80 billones es un disparate de guita. Es 5 veces todo el PIB de USA o 150 veces el nuestro. No tiene sentido. Seguramente quiere decir 80 mil millones de U$D.
