Minería Espacial, Modelos de negocio, Rentabilidad, Inteligencia Artificial, Robótica, SostenibilidadResumen
En esta investigación se examinan las perspectivas de la extracción de recursos extraterrestres, haciendo especial hincapié en la capacidad distintiva de Chile para convertirse en un líder en este sector naciente. El análisis abarca tecnologías avanzadas, como la inteligencia artificial, la robótica y el análisis geoespacial satelital, cruciales para obtener materiales de entidades extraterrestres, como asteroides y cuerpos lunares. La amplia experiencia minera de Chile, en particular en entornos extremos ejemplificados por el desierto de Atacama, coloca al país en una posición ventajosa para adaptar estas tecnologías modernas a aplicaciones extraterrestres. Se realiza una evaluación de la viabilidad económica de la minería espacial, con proyecciones que indican que los asteroides pueden albergar recursos de inmenso valor, que potencialmente ascienden a billones de dólares. Sin embargo, se reconocen obstáculos considerables, incluidas importantes inversiones iniciales e impedimentos regulatorios. Se aboga por las asociaciones público-privadas para aliviar las incertidumbres financieras y aprovechar la experiencia minera establecida. Además, se destaca la importancia del progreso tecnológico, en particular en sistemas autónomos y en el uso de recursos in situ, como un elemento crítico para el éxito de las iniciativas de minería espacial. Este análisis postula que, a través de compromisos financieros estratégicos y esfuerzos de colaboración, Chile podría asumir un papel fundamental en el futuro panorama de la minería espacial, contribuyendo así al avance económico y la sostenibilidad de los recursos.
