In recent years, small celestial bodies (SCBs) exploration missions have attracted extensive attention. For the purposes of space resource exploitation and earth defense, revealing the formation and evolution of the solar system and exploring the origin of life, sampling return and in situ resource utilization (ISRU) have become the focus of SCBs exploration missions. Based on this background, this paper attempts to comprehensively illustrate the advances in SCBs resources utilization and exploitation technologies. First, the status of the utilization and exploitation of SCBs is summarized. The classification and resource distribution of SCBs are introduced later and focus on the utilization prospects of SCBs resources. From the four aspects of resource prospecting, exploitation, extraction and storage, transfer and transportation, the technical progress of SCBs mining is discussed. Some typical sampling technologies, such as siliceous aerogel, impact projectile, auger drill and excavating mechanism, pneumatic apparatus and wheel brush sampler, cutter and abrasive tool, laser and electromagnetic device, as well as bionic mining technologies inspired by some animals and plants, are reviewed in detail. According to the research of space mining, the critical points and legal issues involved in the utilization and exploitation of SCBs resources are presented, and future development trends are proposed. Finally, the full paper is summarized. • The status of the utilization and exploitation of SCBs is summarized. • The classification and utilization prospects of SCBs resources are introduced. • The technical progress of SCBs sampling and mining is discussed. • The critical points and issues are presented. • Future development trends are proposed.
