Space mining startup AstroForge aims to launch historic asteroid-landing mission in 2025

Asteroid-mining startup AstroForge plans to make history next year.

The California company announced Tuesday (Aug. 20) that it aims to launch its third mission in 2025, as a ridealong to Houston company Intuitive Machines’ IM-3 moon mission. That launch will send AstroForge’s 440-pound (200 kilogram) Vestri probe to dock with a metallic near-Earth asteroid — an unprecedented leap for a commercial spacecraft.
