Abstract

This scientific study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) and satellite remote sensing could work together to transform space resource management. As human activity in space continues to expand, the effective and sustainable utilization of celestial resources is of paramount importance. It begins by highlighting the evolution of space exploration and the growing interest in resource extraction beyond Earth's boundaries. It emphasizes the critical role of resource management for the success of future space missions.
