At PLANETES INT Pte. Ltd., we are on a mission to reshape the future of resource exploration by venturing into space. Our team believes that tapping into the vast, underutilized wealth of small bodies—such as asteroids—will not only address Earth’s growing demands for rare metals and other critical materials, but also relieve the environmental strains caused by traditional mining. Through pioneering asteroid prospecting and resource extraction, we aim to open new frontiers of collaboration, technological innovation, and economic opportunity.
Our vision is a world where space resources serve as a catalyst for sustainable growth—fostering international partnerships, reducing geopolitical tension over scarce minerals, and empowering developing nations with equitable access to high-value resources. By doing so, we contribute to the global effort to mitigate climate change, protect biodiversity, and ensure future generations can thrive on a healthier planet.
From small-scale sampling missions to large-scale retrieval programs, PLANETES INT is committed to bridging humanity’s needs with cutting-edge aerospace engineering. We are developing next-generation technologies, forging strategic alliances with space agencies and commercial partners, and advocating responsible policies for space resource utilization.
Ultimately, we see ourselves as part of a worldwide movement that propels humankind beyond Earth’s limitations—so we can explore, innovate, and prosper while leaving a minimal environmental footprint. Join us as we chart a path toward a future where the boundless potential of space resources becomes a genuine force for good on Earth.
Space Resources Mining
With innovative resource extraction technology at its core, we will realize efficient resource extraction from asteroids and the moon. In collaboration with the Institute of Planetary Science, University of Tokyo, we will promote the development and practical application of cutting-edge technology.
Payload Delivery
Leveraging our experience from the Hayabusa mission, we provide highly accurate asteroid transportation services. Our primary destinations are resource-producing asteroids, but we also cater for scientific exploration missions, meeting the needs of a wide range of customers.
