Ceres Report: Prospecting

I’ve decided to wait awhile on deploying the tents. Instead, I’ve started learning how to prospect for minerals. After a few false starts, I got it figured out.

For starters, there are some gases stuck in the soil. I removed one of the smaller tanks off my ship, and converted it to a crucible. I can put in a cubic foot or so of the soil, and heat it up. When I do, I get an immediate pressure spike in the tank, so right now I just vent it. Keep heating it until you’ve boiled the water off…you can tell by closing the exhaust valve and no longer getting a pressure spike…then let it cool.

Whats left pretty much looks like coarse sand. It doesn’t turn into a brick like I was afraid it might. Now, I only need to see what it’s good for.
