WASHINGTON: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Thursday launched an effort to pay companies to mine resources on the moon, announcing it would buy from them rocks, dirt and other lunar materials as the US space agency seeks to spur private extraction of coveted off-world resources for its use.
NASA said it views the mined resources as the property of the company, and the materials would become"the sole property of NASA" after purchase. Bridenstine said NASA eventually would buy more types of resources such as ice and other materials that may be discovered on the moon. Under the initiative disclosed on Thursday, NASA offered to purchase limited amounts of lunar resources and asked companies to offer proposals. Under contracts whose terms would vary, a company mining on the moon would collect lunar rocks or dirt to sell to NASA without having to bring the resources back to Earth.
