suspending a planned asian i.p.o. between the world's largest stock sale this year. now all this week we've been marking the 50th anniversary of the 1st moon landing but setting foot there wasn't enough for space agencies and now private enterprises to with earth screw. during appetite for raw materials the race is on to find minerals on the moon and beyond. just days ago the japanese space probe high a booster to landed on the asteroid review grew over 300000000 kilometers from. its there to take samples from beneath the surface and bring them back home together with france and germany the japanese space agency and aims to find out what the asteroid is made of and if there might be any valuable role materials hidden within. the sick i have them over the project is a world 1st with multi sampling to landings and

a collection of under surface samples will move through its or something like with . the u.s. space agency nasa is also examining an asteroid with its so desirous rex probe it's taking samples of the rock to find out what it's made of and hopefully gain some insight into how the earth was formed nasa has also been looking for rare resources on the moon for years the rocket crater moon scape could conceal valuable treasures metals such as gold platinum iridium and helium 3 gas have all been detected there now it's trying to figure out how to break down these raw materials and transport them to. the director of curtain space science and technology center in perth australia to my colleague monica jones that mining minerals in space is the longer science fiction it's becoming much more real actually just over the last few years than i ever thought it would be interesting

were on both. osiris rex missions it's great to be part of that. those are those private companies involved in this now and also most major space agencies and what do we hope to find on an asteroid that we can't mine here on earth. well it's i mean there's a kind of a couple of flavors to this we can find as you study pace those heavy metals like it radio and and and and and rem you know platinum if things like that. but in a way is kind of the support industries that we're interested in for those who need fuel and you need water and we can get that from places like ice on the moon all right but the moon isn't right next door or asteroids certainly aren't also its

missions are very costly how big a business proposition is space mining then. i think so so nasa and chinese space agency easter all have a program to go back to the moon over the next few years. if you can get fuel and water there versus carrying all the way that's a really big deal so in terms of you know you save a huge amount of money for every kilo you can find versus what you can bring in a source of huge support for those missions out of course you know when you mention it is a lot of cooperation going on when it comes to space missions between nations like the united states and europe once you get there how do you determine the mining rights on an extraterrestrial object it's difficult enough here on earth that's an excellent question actually right now there are no mining rights so you

can't legally make money mining asteroids or bring a bag. if you use that material to make fuel i think that's ok but there's some very old treaties in there and those need to change before this becomes an industry all right professor phil bland the director of a close in space science and technology center in perth australia thank you so much for your time and your insights. that brings you up to date on all the business news here down on earth and up there in space by strong business wish you.
