Abstract The private space companies were able to build their new space mining companies on the base of U. S. government space programs that have been active for a half century. NASA has been sending space probes and astronauts into space to understand the composition of the Moon, the planets and their moons, and the Sun with scores of scientific missions. It is these efforts that set the stage for possible exploitation of natural resources in space today. This chapter provides an insight to the many U. S. space missions conducted in past decades to explore the Solar System and its composition and character. This key exploratory information plus new contracts by NASA to the start-up private space mining activities represent vital support to the various space mining ventures.
