Deep Space Industries, or DSI,〔 is an American privately-held company with global operations, operating in the space technology and resources sectors. The company is developing spacecraft technologies that are needed for asteroid mining, and is currently selling satellites that use these technologies. DSI is expecting to make in-space materials, extracted from asteroids, commercially available in the early 2020s, include space-based refueling, power, asteroid processing, and manufacturing.〔 ==History== DSI was formally announced on January 22, 2013〔 and currently has three spacecraft and patent-pending microgravity manufacturing technologies under development. According to David Gump, chief executive officer, speaking at the company's launch in Santa Monica, California, another early goal of the company is to refuel communications satellites that contain a refueling interface. He also foresees NASA as a potential customer, with DSI fueling manned and robotic Mars missions in low Earth orbit before they set off for the red planet. Eventually, DSI plans to construct large communications platforms and space-based-solar-power satellites. Long-term plans envision the development of space colonies and vehicles from asteroid material.〔〔 〕 Deep Space Industries won a contract to design a bitcoin spacecraft and associated constellation to broadcast the latest completed bitcoin block in April 2014.〔http://news.discovery.com/space/private-spaceflight/bitsat-verification-bitcoins-giant-leap-into-orbit-140424.htm〕 NASA awarded the company two contracts for analysis and advice on the space agency's Asteroid Redirect Mission in June 2014.〔http://www.nasa.gov/content/nasa-selects-studies-for-the-asteroid-redirect-mission/〕 In December 2014, DSI announced a "mothership" spacecraft designed to deliver up to a dozen nanosats to trajectories that are beyond Earth orbit for applications such as exploring distant asteroids.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deep Space Industries, or DSI, is an American privately-held company with global operations, operating in the space technology and resources sectors.
