About MangalCore

MangalCore is a company focused on developing the necessary technologies for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) to enable the exploration and extraction of materials from asteroids. This involves the practice of collecting, processing, and using materials found on celestial bodies, which reduces the need to transport materials from Earth. The company's primary objective is to make space resources more accessible, with a long-term vision of supplying both the in-space economy and Earth with valuable minerals extracted from near-Earth asteroids.

The approach is intended to be more cost-effective and have a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional terrestrial mining methods. By developing know-how for exploration in low-gravity environments, MangalCore aims to support companies planning to extract rare minerals from space. The broader goal is to facilitate a sustainable human presence in space by providing essential resources like water, fuel, and construction materials derived from celestial bodies. This strategy is seen as critical for reducing the high costs associated with launching materials from Earth and for supporting long-duration missions and future settlements on the Moon and Mars.

The company is involved in the development of robotic and satellite platforms for the exploration and extraction of off-world resources. In addition to its focus on space resources, MangalCore also develops various software products. These include "TatvaFit," a fee management system for gyms, and "Lakshya Run," a mobile application for tracking and planning running workouts. The company has also released a set of React utility components as an npm package.
