The acceleration due to gravity on the asteroid is 0.2 m/s2. What is the weight of a 82 kg Asteroid miner on the asteroid? A mining project has been set up on an asteroid. You have been tasked to figure out the gravitational force on the mining station. Your mining station with a mass of 3 X 104 kg is orbiting the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid was determined to be 6 X 108 kg. Your mining station is 2000 m away from the center of the asteroid. The universal gravitation constant G is 6.67 × 10–11
