About SpaceMiningData
An independent, source-linked reference on efforts to find and use resources from the Moon, asteroids and Mars, built to separate what has been done from what has been announced.
What it is
SpaceMiningData records organizations, missions, government authorizations, laws and dated events connected to space resources. Every record shows its sources with a quotation, the date it was last checked and the questions it leaves open. The site's main answer is on the status page: whether any resource from another body has been commercially delivered.
Who runs it
It is an independent research project run by Fillip Kosorukov. It is not an official registry and is not run by any company, agency or organization it covers. The site carries no advertising, sponsorship or paid listings, and an organization cannot pay to be included or to change its evidence level.
How it is researched
Records are researched with AI research assistants from primary sources such as government releases, legislation, filings, mission data and peer-reviewed papers. A different AI model reviews the cited evidence; later reviews may cover selected fields. Quotations are matched against the source text by machine where the page can be fetched. Where it can't, an AI model may compare the quotation with the source. Each source says which applied, or that its quotation was not machine-matched. The owner approves each published batch, apart from rechecks that found no change and new events attributed to one record, which publish automatically after that second check against official pages captured that night. The methodology gives the full rules, and the coverage page says what is and is not covered.
How it is updated
New developments, including policy and treaty steps, are added as dated events on the news and events page after the same source review, which shows when news sources were last reviewed. News sources and cited pages are read every night. A routine reviewed change can publish by itself; anything else changes only when the owner approves a release. A new release cannot be built while any mission with a planned date is more than 30 days past its last check. Fixes to published facts are listed on the corrections page.
