Extracting the universe's most precious resources: human intelligence and information.
Star Foundation is a pioneering organization dedicated to the future of space mining. We focus on developing the infrastructure and knowledge needed to extract resources beyond Earth.
Our first phase is centered on Information Mining - the extraction and utilization of human knowledge, scientific discoveries, and data systems that will power our journey to the stars.

To become the first "Mining Bank" of the space civilization era, facilitating the transition from Earth-based to space-based resource extraction.
We envision a future where humanity's economic foundation extends beyond our planet, powered by intelligent systems that can identify, extract, and utilize extraterrestrial resources.
To bridge human intelligence with solar system resources through a phased approach to space mining.
Starting with Information Mining on Earth, we're developing the knowledge and technologies needed for Energy and Material Mining in space, creating a sustainable pathway to an interplanetary economy.
Our approach to space resource utilization is built on three foundational pillars:
Extraction and utilization of human knowledge, scientific discoveries, and data systems that power our spacefaring civilization.
Harvesting and transmitting space-based energy sources including solar, nuclear, and potential new forms of cosmic energy.
Extraction and processing of physical resources from asteroids, moons, and other celestial bodies including metals, water, and rare elements.
Watch our introductory video to understand how we're approaching the challenge of extraterrestrial resource extraction.
The foundation of our spacefaring future lies in the effective mining and utilization of information resources:
The next phase focuses on harvesting cosmic energy sources to power our expansion:
The ultimate goal: extracting physical resources from celestial bodies:
Before we can effectively mine physical resources in space, we must first mine the information that will make it possible. This includes:
