  1. ASTEROID MINING FOR MARS COLONIZATION AND DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION We are standing on the shoulders of the NASA giants who have developed that technology for us to use NOW. We are finally past the “study-study-study” Phase. Let’s go out there and build the Future of Humanity. AS OF TODAY, SPACE IS TRULY THE FINAL, INFINITE FRONTIER OF MANKIND. LET’S GO!!! Presented by: Jerome Pearson : Star Technology and Research, Inc. Michael Buet Kepler Energy and Space Engineering, LLC

  2. ASTEROID MINING: The Raw Material for Going to Mars and the Stars – Now and Forever

  3. KESE, LLC GOALS • Using the KIS principle (Keep It Simple), send an automated asteroid mining system out to an asteroid asap, and return a few metric tons of regolith as “proof of intent” and “proof of concept” back to LEO. • Use only proven technologies and simplest possible approach: Go out there, dig the maximum you can carry as fast as you can, and come back with tons of usable base-material. • Return only a couple of loads to Earth surface – Keep the majority in orbit for manufacturing.

  4. THE PLAN: GET BUILDING MATERIALS FOR BAEM-Ex The Cornucopia AMS lands on the target asteroid and mines several tons of raw regolith using 4 post-hole diggers The Return Vehicles bring the raw regolith back to Earth Orbit The regolith is processed in orbit, and using a 3D printer, manufactures all the parts needed to make the BAEM-Ex

  5. ULTIMATE KESE, LLC GOAL: The Buzz Aldrin Earth/Mars-Express Build one or more “Buzz Aldrin Earth-Mars Express” (BAEM-Ex) in LEO, giving colonists and scientists a permanent way to go back and forth to Mars via the Buzz Aldrin Cycler orbit.

  6. The Buzz Aldrin Earth/Mars-Express • Two BAEM-Ex shuttles would provide for much shorter Earth/Mars/Earth round-trips, or doubled capacity for commercial and scientific exchanges between Earth and Mars. • The second Buzz Aldrin BAEM-Ex Cycler could be built directly from one of Mars’ “Moons”, which are captured asteroids

  7. The Buzz Aldrin Earth/Mars-Express:Earth to BAEM-Ex and Mars to BAEM-Ex Shuttles/Taxi • Manned Mars Missions will be able to use simple shuttles, CEV or Mars-taxi to rendez-vous with the BAEM-Ex as it passes by Earth or Mars.

  8. ULTIMATE KESE, LLC GOAL: Build (or just provide materials for) an in-orbit permanent “Space Odysey 2001-type” rotating space station that would give spin-gravity ~1 G to the living quarters for permanent human habitation, and zero-g at the Hub for science experiments and docking.
