SpaceX
US launch and spacecraft company whose June 2026 EU securities prospectus lists asteroid mining among planned future activities; it has announced no asteroid-resource mission. It is included because of that filed statement and because its Falcon 9 launched several resource-related spacecraft in this dataset (Brokkr-1, Odin, Arkyd-3R).
An organization's level is recorded separately and is not a ranking of its linked missions' results. How the ladder works.

NASA selects eight companies for CLPS 2 lunar deliveries ($10 billion combined maximum)
NASA selected eight companies as eligible to compete for future lunar surface delivery missions under CLPS 2: Blue Origin, Firefly Aerospace, Intuitive Machines, ispace-U.S., Lockheed Martin Space, Northrop Grumman Space Systems, SpaceX and Voyager Technologies. CLPS 2 is a 10-year, multiple-award master contract with a combined maximum value of $10 billion; that maximum is a ceiling, not money awarded to any company. NASA also raised the current CLPS contract's value from $2.6 billion to $4.2 billion.

NASA selected eight companies for the next phase of its CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative. The companies are eligible to compete for future lunar surface delivery missions under the new CLPS 2 contract: Blue Origin Firefly Aerospace Intuitive Machines ispace-U.S. Lockheed Martin Space Northrop Grumman Space Systems SpaceX Voyager Technologies
The CLPS 2 framework is a 10-year, multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity master contract with a combined maximum value of $10 billion.
NASA increased the value of the current CLPS 1.0 contract from $2.6 billion to $4.2 billion to support initial Phase One Moon Base objectives.
- NASA's release names no CLPS 2 task order. Lockheed Martin Space and Northrop Grumman Space Systems have no record in this dataset, so they are named here and not linked.
Open evidence gaps

We plan to pursue asteroid mining operations to extract metals and other critical resources from near-Earth and main-belt asteroids, providing abundant raw materials for space-based industries and reducing the need to launch mass from Earth.
In its IPO prospectus, SpaceX highlighted asteroid mining as a future revenue stream
