The purpose of our study is to answer some fundamental questions regarding the viability of space water mining operations: is there a potential future market for water in space, what is the expected market price for water in space, is it technically feasible to produce water in space and at what cost?
WGM estimates there is likely a US$206 Billion market for water in space over the next 30 years. After extensively analysing currently known technologies and extrapolating possible Moon-based production methods, WGM believes producing water on the Moon to be viable and the first company to exploit this identified demand will likely reap extraordinary profits.
