The harvest of space will be the biggest industrial transformation in human history. Aron Space Industries is playing the long game and will position itself to be the leader in space resource harvesting and utilization by developing a carefully planned track record of capability, credibility and expertise. ASI believes that by getting onto the field right now, even before the game has really begun, we can help make it happen, set the rules and assure that we – and our investors – win. This is being accomplished initially by creating patentable devices and concepts, and mounting small-but-daring asteroid missions at fractions of traditional cost that build competence and earn revenue from commercial branding, NASA and other agencies. Over time, this early revenue leverages the company into serving huge industries such as communications satellites and terrestrial electrical power utilities. Once these private-sector markets are addressed, ASI revenue will grow past a billion dollars annually. We believe now is the right time to begin developing the means to win those markets. To do this ASI initially develops a carefully planned set of incremental projects and demonstrations that build partnerships and new intellectual property for critical capabilities needed for our eventual prime market – the harvesting, processing and utilization of space-based resources. IN SITU RESOURCES The key to opening the frontier of space is learning how to “live off the land.” ASI is THE expert in new ways to extract and process materials and supplies from space resources. Using proprietary technology and systems we are able to take the raw feedstock we bring back from asteroids and turn it into air, water, propellant and structures we need in a new space industrial economy. LOCAL CUSTOMERS As we grow these capabilities we will serve existing orbital customers, especially commercial communications satellites. ASI-delivered propellant doubles the profitable lifetimes of comsats that otherwise run out of station-keeping fuel. Other orbital customers, such as the International Space Station and upcoming habitats from Bigelow Aerospace, must import water, fuel and spares at tremendous cost from Earth that ASI can supply from asteroids. As new government and private space facilities come online and crewed missions are prepared to travel to the Moon and Mars, ASI provides their propellant, air and the materials needed to shield them from radiation. ASI can sell to orbital customers at lower cost because our products are “locally sourced” from near Earth asteroids (NEAs) rather than hauled up the Earth’s deep gravity well. For example, even “dirt” (or in this case ground up asteroidal material) are worth its weight in gold in space, as it is important to build shields many meters thick around long term human facilities outside the Earth’s magnetic field as protection from cosmic rays. As we prospect for and process these basic resources and materials we will tap into nearly endless supplies of rare metals and elements. Later ASI will deliver metals and energy (carbon-free and radiation-free) to the enormous global markets on Earth.
