With this information, we estimate the costs and rewards of mining asteroids.

Details on orbits and basic physical parameters are sourced from the Minor Planet Center and NASA JPL. Asteroid mining is the exploitation of raw materials from asteroids and other minor planets, including near-Earth objects. Of course, mining an asteroid or even landing on one is not an easy task. The current most valuable asteroid listed is 511 Davida, a C-type asteroid with a diameter pushing 200 miles. NASA estimates this belt to hold $700 quintillion of bounty.

We've collected, computed, or inferred important data such as asteroid mass and composition from multiple scientific sources. Davida, worth 26.99 quintillion U.S. dollars is the most valuable asteroid in the asteroid belt, and is the seventh-largest asteroid in the asteroid belt. It is there that over 1 million asteroids exist, including about 200 that are over 60 miles (100 km) in diameter. The asteroid Davida - diameter 326 kilometres - is said to be worth $26,990,000,000,000,000,000 ($27 quintillion) because of its content of nickel, iron, c The exciting part of asteroid mining is the asteroid belt itself, which lies between Mars and Jupiter. That’s about $100 billion for each person on Earth.
