It would be impossible to support an efficient and durable long-term space settlement to thrive without sustaining it with industry.

Industry in space would be extremely profitable than what we had on planet Earth, where you could get the same metals millions of times more at space. There would be so much mining of metals and gas at the solar system, and possibly farther. And on Earth, it requires lots of energy to just transport the heavy masses, while it would be so much easier out in space, where there is no friction or gravity.

Zero gravity, or near to zero gravity plays a great part in outer space industry of the Destino Magnus system. Zero gravity would means no convection currents in molten metal, which could give us more purer metal separation, absolute crystallization processes, which could give us better microelectronics.

We could also take advantage of pure vacuum, where we could prevent contaminants and the deformation of precise material.

Mining

Destino Magus will be placed around Ganymede, one of Jupiter's largest moons. It is made of silicate rock, and water ice. The layers include a small molten iron/sulfur core, surrounded by the silicate mantle, with an icy shell on top. We will mine out the rocky material out of Ganymede for our station by temporarily sending space pods to collect the material.

Other than the moon, we would be able to find great amounts of asteroids. There are three main types of asteroids; Carbonaceous (C-type) asteroids, which are the most, dominate, Liliaceous (S-type), and the Metallic (M-type) with metal cores. To see the difference of these asteroids and its density, we would observe the asteroids with the visible spectrum, and by infrared.

Since every asteroid has its own composition of metals such as nickel, iron, and even more precious metals, it would not always be 100% pure nickel, or any other. It will almost always have at least two or more metals that make up the asteroid. The separation of the elements and minerals would be required.

To get nickel and iron metals from the asteroids would be to magnetically separate them after grinding them. This specific process requires enough gravity to keep the process moving. First, grind the asteroid in to small pieces, then drop them to a magnetic rotating cylinder, and the ones that stuck onto it would be scraped off, while the others would go through another tube to another place. Then, the scraped off parts would then be filtered again. As this process gets repeated, only the iron-nickel parts would be available.

Gas Mining

On Destino Magnus, large amounts of various gases are needed to support the systems such as life, power, protection, travel, et cetera.

One of our largest sources of gas is Jupiter, which is close by our settlement, which is orbiting Ganymede. Inside Jupiter, there is Hydrogen [86%], Helium [14%], Methane [0.1%], Water Vapor [0.1%], and other traces of gas. The HP-GCS [Hybrid Powered-Gas Compression Shuttle] will suck up gas in Jupiter, while dividing the gas into its different substances. The gas being sucked in will power a flywheel, which powers the system to make a part of it vacuum to suck the gas. This shuttle will be sent to Ganymede itself as well, but that will be only temporary due to its extremely sparse oxygen atmosphere.

Other gases can be sucked out of comets and asteroids. Oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen et cetera will be hidden in those asteroids and pebbles out in space. We can enclose the asteroids in a closed area, and start heating them with a solar oven. The gases will be filtered, as well as the water vapor. The machine is called the AC-GO [Asteroid Comet-Gas Oven], and it filters the gas out of the asteroid/comet. The solar oven is consisted of a closed area with a bubbloy [bubble alloy] surface to prevent harsh damage from sharp corners. The asteroids/comets will first be compacted, then exposed to concentrated sunlight from the solar oven. The gases will be filtered through different pipes to take out specific gases of the specific density.

Products

Different kinds of products will be needed for the residents as well as other parts of the station. People would want Raumtragers, refrigerators, Spindesks, media products, clocks, and many things. The industrial torus would want complicated tools. The industrial torus will supply the products through its centeral cylinder to the residential toruses, and easily supply us. Some cargo shuttles would also be able to dock to the toruses, and supply products.

Material

We will use materials such as plastic, steel, et cetera, and we will have a way to maintain constant supply of them.

Plastic is one of the most commonly used material for cars, computers, desks, binders, packages et cetera. The plastic in the 1900s weren’t very durable, and couldn’t turn back to dirt, becoming harmful trash for the environment. We also needed to have lots of oil to make the plastic, costing us a lot, and also turning into petroleum. If we have this much problems with buying oil to make plastic, why can’t we just grow our own plastic? Making plastic out of corn would be a great idea. Since corn has isosorbide, it makes the plastic more rigid and stronger than before. It is also affordable, and when we throw away our plastic, it will back into dirt [so it is biodegradable] which could become a part of the dirt for the corn to grow on.

Polyester will also be biodegradable. PHA, a type of polyester, will be made from microbial process. This could be used for injection bottles, and films. PHBH is another type of polyester that is used in film and casting. It will be made from sucrose, molasses, and fatty acids, by fermentation. PLA will be made of lactic acid, and used for food trays, containers, cups, and planter boxes. PBS is made of starch, and adipate copolymers, and could be used for films, and flushable hygine.

Polyester will be mainly built by fermentation by bacteria, which is made within the bacteria with glucose.

The making of steel was noted in the beginning of the document.
