ABOUT US
Asteroid Mining Corporation was founded by Mitch Hunter-Scullion in 2016 with the intention of mining the abundant resources found beyond Earth in the millions of small bodies throughout our Solar System.
This vision defines who we are and serves as a north star to guide our progress. Our goal is to become the world's first profitable space resources business - we are commercialising our robotic technology for both terrestrial and space applications, with the intention of being profitable long before we get to an asteroid. All projects we undertake are done so as part of this journey to the asteroids.
