About
The Space Resources Roundtable
The Space Resources Roundtable, Inc. was established as a non-profit corporation in the State of Colorado, September 7, 2001, to serve charitable and educational purposes. The organization promotes knowledge, advances education, and provides information on availability, applicability and status of development of the resources of space beyond the atmosphere of the Earth.
As of January, 2003, Space Resources Roundtable, Inc. was established as a 501 c (3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service.

These include technical fields such as: exploration; mineral extraction; refining; manufacturing; infrastructure development; space transportation; and a host of other technical areas that must be players. In addition, there must be participation from people who are developing markets that may be served by space resources products, such as space industrialization, tourism, space power, and terrestrial uses, as well as the financial, legal, and entrepreneurial aspects of resource development.
