Abstract

The article focuses on the implications of possible discovery of nickel and platinum group metals (PGMs) in moon to lunar exploration. It presumes that discovery of metallic resources on the moon's crater Copernicus can encourage mining companies to team up with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct experimental mining. It discloses the possibility that private interests will conduct a mission to discover nickel-iron fragments and metal impactor fragments in the moon.
