ASTROFORGE'S ASTEROID MINING SPACECRAFT LOST BEYOND THE MOON AstroForge’s Odin spacecraft, launched on February 26 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, is now tumbling in deep space with no contact and little hope of recovery. The $3.5 million spacecraft, built in just 10 months, was meant to scan an asteroid for valuable metals, but a ground station failure in Australia delayed initial communication, and all recovery attempts have failed. Despite this setback, the company is moving forward with its next mission, Vestri, which is scheduled to launch in late 2025. AstroForge's dream of commercial asteroid mining remains ambitious, but space is an unforgiving frontier.
