SPACE MINING
Space mining hopeful Planetary Resources has successfully launched its latest satellite, the Arkyd-6 – a 6U CubeSat – containing a demonstration of technology designed to detect water resources in space.
Planetary reported that the team has already started receiving telemetry from the spacecraft, which will be used to develop the Arkyd-301, Planetary’s next spacecraft platform and the start of the company’s space resource exploration programme.
