Summary

This project proposes an in-situ resource utilization system for the asteroid Psyche using magnetic collection and inductive sensing to gather and identify metallic ore in low-gravity environments. The system stabilizes transported material with permanent magnets, detects metal type by analyzing electromagnetic responses from dual sensing coils, and sorts the material into separate storage chamber.
