M-TYPE · METALLIC
| Mean diam. | 2.4 km |
| Albedo | 0.21 |
| Est. Ni/Fe mass | 1.1 × 1012 kg |
| Δv from LEO | 5.8 km/s |
| Phase | Bulk extraction |
Our flagship target. High metallic yield, slow rotation. Industrial-grade iron and nickel for in-situ construction.
We mine the asteroids no one else will touch. Independent. Surgical. Profitable. Since 2089.
VIEW TARGETS →Asteroid Belters is a privately held extraction outfit operating in the main belt and among near-Earth asteroids. We were founded on a single thesis: that the resources humanity needs for the next century are not underground — they are overhead.
We run lean. Four vessels, thirty-one engineers, no shareholders demanding this quarter's margin. That lets us take prospects the majors ignore: low-grade volatiles, structurally complex rubble piles, long-tail metallic bodies. We make them pay.
Every gram we return to LEO is weighed, assayed, and contracted before it touches a refinery dock. No speculation. No fluff. Just rock, processed.
Current active and provisional extraction prospects. All telemetry pulled from our orbital survey array.
