The 25th Space Resources Roundtable met at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, June 3 to 6, 2025. iGO was a sponsor.
SRR is where the space resources field actually convenes. Its Silver Jubilee drew 254 in-person participants, with 56 oral presentations, 52 posters, three technical panels, and four roundtable discussions. Topics ran from cislunar and lunar ISRU to small bodies, with results from recent missions to the Moon and asteroids, plans for upcoming payloads, and sessions on economic models, law and policy, and private sector activity.
iGO sponsored alongside Lunar Outpost, Honeybee Robotics, Advanced Space, Astroscale, Karman+, Polimak, Neuro Space, Technogenia, Interlune, Starpath, the University of Adelaide, the European Space Resources Innovation Centre, and the Colorado Space Business Roundtable.
Why we were there
iGO’s thesis is that water is the first resource, and that the hard part is not the rocket but knowing which rock to fly to. SRR is where that argument gets made in public, in front of the people building the hardware, writing the policy, and funding the missions. A company that intends to sell water off Earth should be in that room, and should help pay to keep the room open.
