Luxembourg boldly invests in asteroid mining | #Space #Europe #Future

The first commercial mission to harvest resources from asteroids could be launched within five years, as Luxembourg's government works on joint missions with two US space research companies to hunt for water and minerals in outer space through robotic missions. CNN's Richard Quest went to Luxembourg to find out more.

Economy Minister: Luxembourg Space Agency expected to take off in future | #Europe 

Economy Minister: Luxembourg Space Agency expected to take off in future | #Europe  | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
Published on Saturday, 10 September, 2016 at 16:59
(TL/JB) Luxembourg is to get its own space agency, the economy minister announced Saturday at an event to exchange ideas between the European Space Agency and Luxembourg citizens.

Ettienne Schneider was speaking in front of 100 Luxembourg residents who had responded to the ESA's appeal and attended the discussion at Tramschapp, in Limptertsberg.

“The idea of a national space agency is an idea that I have had for some time. For now, we do not have the personnel. But this kind of structure is an idea I would expected to announce in the future,” he said, responding to a question from a Portuguese resdient.

The Minister outlined the government's space strategy for the country, namely its recently announced act on the rights for harvesting precious metals from asteroids. The Resources Act is to be presented in October and, if passed, should come into effect in 2017.

Luxembourg Wants to Be a Global Leader in Asteroid Mining | Europe | Space

Luxembourg Wants to Be a Global Leader in Asteroid Mining | Europe | Space | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
As part of Luxembourg’s newly announced project, Jean-Jacques Dordain, former ESA head, was appointed advisor. He told reporters that space mining is no longer science fiction, and that the basic technologies required to land and return materials from asteroids have essentially already been proven.

“Things are moving in the United States and it was high time there was an initiative in Europe, and I am glad the first initiative is coming from Luxembourg,” he said. “It will give no excuse for European investors to go to California.” At the same time, he urged European entrepreneurs to follow the example set by American start-ups.

Luxembourg is no stranger to the tech sector. It’s already home to several vibrant satellite operators, including SES. This latest move shows that it’s willing to take some bold steps to safeguard its economic future.

Le Luxembourg est en orbite !

Le Luxembourg est en orbite ! | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Le 23 octobre, à 20 heures (17:59 UTC), le Luxembourg a entamé sa première mission lunaire, sans équipage, depuis un port spatial en Chine. L'engin qui est actuellement en voie vers notre satellite, va le contourner et puis retourner vers la Terre. La mission, qui est contrôlée depuis Betzdorf, sera la première à caractère privé au monde.


Le Luxembourg héberge SES, le premier opérateur mondial de satellites

Pour le Luxembourg, l’aérospatiale est une des composantes essentielles de son secteur de haute technologie. Les ambitions "stellaires" du Grand-Duché remontent au début des années 1980 avec la création de SES ASTRA, ce qui a encouragé, par la suite, l’implantation d’entreprises dynamiques dans le secteur aérospatial. Au début des années 1980, le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg a en effet pris une longueur d’avance en misant sur le potentiel de l'industrie des satellites. Aujourd’hui, le pays héberge SES, le premier opérateur mondial de satellites avec une flotte d'une cinquantaine de satellites. Le Luxembourg s'efforce d'attirer des petites et moyennes entreprises et de grandes entreprises actives dans ce domaine, en leur apportant un soutien résolu et des structures spécialisées.
