"Odin's role is to gather critical imagery of the target asteroid, preparing the way for our next mission, Vestri, which will aim to land on the asteroid and begin extraction."
Of course the government leaning the land for the landing is going to ask for a cut, but if traditional mining companies extracting materials on earth pay nothing already (if we include the externallities of mining pollution), they’re not going to pay a lot for something that create value where before was just a dessert and the landing can be shopped around.

And the rest sounds like problems to be solve.
