摘要

To date, the only resources that humankind has exploited have been those of the Earth. Although historically these have been treated as though they are inexhaustible, this is not the case. Without new resources, humankind will be unable to develop technologically or extend significantly its activities into the solar system. It seems likely, therefore, that extraterrestrial resources will have to be identified and made use of. Not only would these be fresh sources of existing material needs, but also completely new types of resources. Examples of such extraterrestrial resources are: space-based solar generation of power returned to Earth by microwave beam; extraction of lunar helium-3 for use in future terrestrial fusion power sources; and mining of the near-Earth asteroids. The future utilisation of extraterrestrial resources offers a means to provide significant benefits for humankind. Although the development and utilisation of such resources exceeds our current abilities, it is envisaged that the increasing importance of such resources to the terrestrial (and later solar) economy will drive the development of the technological capabilities that are needed.rnThis paper presents an overview of the different types of extraterrestrial resource utilisation and examines the possible future market for, and benefits of, each of them. In addition, the associated economic, political and legal issues relating to extraterrestrial resource exploitation are discussed, while the technological developments required to bring them to fruition are also examined.
