Autorzy przedstawili aktualny na połowę 2022 roku stan szeroko rozumianego górnictwa pozaziemskiego w Polsce. Analiza autorów objęła wszelkie inicjatywy, projekty i badania, które dotyczą różnych aspektów eksploracji pozaziemskich ciał Układu Słonecznego pod kątem rozpoznania i wykorzystania znajdujących się na nich złóż różnorodnych surowców. W Polsce mamy obecnie wiele możliwości rozwoju sektora górnictwa pozaziemskiego. Sytuacja ta jednak w najbliższym czasie będzie się pogarszać, jeśli nie zostaną stworzone warunki do rozwoju tej dziedziny wiedzy i przemysłu. Oczywiście istotne jest zainwestowanie odpowiednich środków finansowych, ale także wykreowanie odpowiedniej polityki rozwoju i podjęcie kompleksowych działań sprzyjających rozwojowi dydaktyki i nauki w zakresie górnictwa i górnictwa pozaziemskiego. Równie istotne jest także wspieranie, a najlepiej realizowanie spójnej koncepcji rozwoju górnictwa pozaziemskiego, jako bardzo istotnej części przemysłu sektora kosmicznego.

The Authors presented the current state of the broadly understood extraterrestrial mining in Poland in mid-2022. The authors’ analysis covered all initiatives, projects and research that relate to various aspects of the Solar System’s extraterrestrial bodies exploration in terms of the identification and use of various raw materials on them. Currently we have many opportunities for the development of the extraterrestrial mining sector in Poland. However, this situation will deteriorate in the near future, if the conditions for the development of this field of knowledge and industry are not created. Of course, it is crucial to invest appropriate funds, but also to create an appropriate development policy and undertake comprehensive activities conducive to the development of teaching and science in the field of mining and extraterrestrial mining. It is also equally important to support, and preferably implement, a coherent concept for the development of extraterrestrial mining as a significant part of the space sector industry.

Extracting raw materials from extraterrestrial sources is a prerequisite for the expansion of our civilization into space. It will be necessary to acquire there practically all commonly used elements – including lithium. The most valuable source of this element currently appears to be lunar soil and rocks, especially K-rich rocks and breccias (>10 ppm of Li). Among the meteorites, the highest content of lithium is characterized by lunar mare basalts and gabbro, eucrites, Martian polymict breccia, nakhlites, howardites (>5 ppm), shergottites, chassignites, lunar anorthosites breccias, mesosiderites, ureilites (>2.5 ppm), diogenites, LL, angrites, H (>2 ppm), L, CM, CO, CV, EH, CI (>1.5 ppm), brachinites, aubrites, EL, CR (>1 ppm), CK and main-group pallasites (<1 ppm). This means that a potential extraterrestrial source of lithium can be the Moon, Mars, and the 4 Vesta minor planet considered as the probable parent body of HED meteorites.

Demand for metallic resources constantly increases along with technological development. One of the factors that currently raises requests for resources is extensive space exploration. Especially, the exploration that involves space colonization creates the needs for resources not only on the Earth but also on other bodies in the Solar System. For instance, resources will be required for building bases and settlements or spare parts to machines, devices and space shuttles. The high transportation costs make launching them from our planet ineffective. New and attractive places for prospecting the resources in our Solar System are bodies located in the asteroid belt, namely parent bodies of ordinary chondrites. The goal of this paper is a review of scientific and economic aspects of extraterrestrial resources associated with such bodies. Studies of meteorites combined with scientific achievements of current space mission significantly improved our understanding of the origin, structure as well as chemical and mineral composition of these bodies and processes that affected them. This knowledge is used in XXI century to set up companies aiming at asteroid mining, or production of fuel and spare pieces in space. Additionally, owing to the fact that some asteroids are on collisional course with our planet, possibilities arise for resource utilization by deflection of hazardous asteroids and setting them on circumterrestrial or circummoon orbits.
