Asteroid Mining Corporation
UK company incorporated in March 2016 that developed the SCAR-E six-legged robot prototype for asteroid and lunar surface work and signed a 2024 memorandum with ispace for a possible future lunar demonstration; it has flown no hardware. As of September 2026 Companies House shows its accounts and confirmation statement overdue and a compulsory strike-off notice (18 August 2026, action suspended 20 August 2026), and its former website domain shows a registrar placeholder.
