# MISSION TWO: 2026

## we mine asteroids

Our team is building out our second mission DeepSpace-2, which will be the first-ever private landing on a body outside the planetary gravity well.

## Why mining asteroids is the next trillion-dollar industry

Metal-rich asteroids contain enough platinum group metals (PGMs) to power industries on Earth and beyond.

###### Terrestrial Mining

###### Low MARGINS

Earth-based PGM mining margins ~7%

###### LIMITED SUPPLY

Global demand for PGMs outweigh supply

###### High Costs

Expensive and destructive to our environments

###### Asteroid Mining

###### High YIELD

Asteroid PGM margins ~85%

###### METAL-RICH

One asteroid could supply Earth for 200 years

###### LOW IMPACT

Exponentially lower carbon footprint

## Odin is NOW IN deep space

Our first deep space mission Odin aimed to capture high-res imagery of asteroid 2022 OB5, providing key data to prepare for our first extraction mission. This was the first commercial deep space mission to target an asteroid for mining.

## What We Do

We build low-cost, replicable spacecraft capable of tracking and mining asteroids in Deep Space.

### Scalable Spacecraft for Deep Space Missions

### Refining Materials in Space

###### $1Trillion

projected space economy by 2040

###### 99%
drop in launch costs since 2010

###### ~300,000
