中国矿业大学（北京）校长刘波：太空资源赋予能源更多可能

Core Viewpoint - The "14th Five-Year Plan" marks a critical period for China's space resource development, focusing on breakthroughs in extraterrestrial resource exploration, intelligent autonomous mining, in-situ utilization, and smart construction [1][11]. Group 1: Space Resource Potential - Various resources exist in space, particularly on celestial bodies like the Moon, which has abundant Helium-3, a clean nuclear fusion material rare on Earth. Near-Earth asteroids and Mars also contain rich reserves of precious metals and water ice [5]. - The ability to mine these resources in space could provide essential materials for technologies such as water electrolysis for hydrogen and oxygen production, significantly reducing material costs in related industries [6]. Group 2: Technological Advancements - Space resource development is expected to drive advancements in energy technology and equipment. The transition of technologies like autonomous navigation and intelligent decision-making from space to terrestrial mining can facilitate the automation and green development of mining operations [8]. - The high costs of transporting materials from Earth to extraterrestrial bodies necessitate the local extraction, transformation, storage, and utilization of resources, which will push the development of new mining technologies and high-end equipment [9]. Group 3: Systematic Layout and Strategic Development - China has established a systematic layout for space resource development, integrating national strategy with collaborative efforts from academia and industry. This comprehensive approach is crucial for advancing space resource technology [10]. - The "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines the implementation of various space exploration projects, including planetary exploration and the construction of an international lunar research station, aiming to transition from research to practical application in deep space resource utilization [11].
