(Well, I haven't seen much of a comprehensive guide to Space Mining (in general), so I will contribute what I know so far in the hopes it will help other players, or that more well-informed players can point me to a better resource...)
You can read the starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=Rage%20of%20the%20Wookiees:%20Space%20Miningabout Space Mining to get the basics, of course.
There is a fella named Flash Harrison in Kachiro, Kashyyyk who can get you started along the path to Space Mining missions (via the Corellia Mining Corp.), and by the time you're done, you'll have two mining lasers, cargo holds, and a tractor beam. Everything the budding Space Miner needs to get at that rock! There are Walkthough threads for those missions already.
Since I started mining regularly, here's some more info that I've gathered:
Systems & their Asteroid Resources:
Tatooine: Iron (and lots of them)
Naboo/Rori: Sulfuric, Carbonaceous
Corellia/Talus: Iron, Silicaceous
Lok: Obsidian, Organometallic
Yavin4: Cyanomethic, Petrochemical
Dantooine: Methane, Acidic
Endor: Ice
Dathomir: Crystal
Kashyyyk: Organometallic, Methane
Kessel: Diamond!
Asteroids will only break off a couple of large chunks at a time. These need to be broken down into smaller chunks and then blasted or "tractored" into your hold. (tractor beam gives you better yield per asteroid chunk.)
When an Asteroid's hit points (use /examine to see this) drop too low, the Asteroid stops giving out ANY chunks at all. You can then either move on to another Asteroid, or continue blasting it until it's "hp" reaches zero. It will then completely explode and be instantly replaced by a new Asteroid (same type of course).
NOTE: PERSONALLY I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF BONUS YEILD FROM THAT FINAL BLAST TO MAKE IT WORTH WHILE, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE
Craftable Mining Ship Components:
You can gather the resources to have a Shipwright craft you various Mining-specific ship components:
Mining Laser I: Mining Laser II:
50 Iron Asteroid 125 Iron Asteroid
50 Organometallic Asteroid 125 Organometallic Asteroid
50 Methane Asteroid 125 Methane Asteroid
50 Carbonaceous Asteroid 125 Carbonaceous Asteroid
Optional Mark I Weapon Upgrade Optional Mark II Weapon Upgrade
Mining Laser III: Tractor Beam:
250 Iron Asteroid 625 Iron Asteroid
250 Crystal Asteroid 625 Crystal Asteroid
250 Methane Asteroid 625 Methane Asteroid
250 Carbonaceous Asteroid 625 Carbonaceous Asteroid
Optional Mark III Weapon Upgrade
Cargo Hold (small):
Starfighter: 100 Silicacious / 100 Cyanomethic
Y-8: 1000 Obsidian / 1000 Pertochemical
POB: 750 Silicacious / 750 Acidic
Cargo Hold (medium):
Starfighter: 250 Silicacious / 250 Cyanomethic
Y-8: 1500 Obsidian / 1500 Pertochemical
POB: 1000 Silicacious / 1000 Acidic
Cargo Hold (large):
Starfighter: 500 Silicacious / 500 Cyanomethic
Y-8: 3000 Obsidian / 3000 Pertochemical
POB: 1250 Silicacious / 1250 Acidic
There are also some Y-8 craftable items: (Only useable on the Y-8!)
Elite Mining Laser: Mining Grade Capacitor:
1250 Iron Asteroid 1250 Steel
1250 Diamond Asteroid 1250 Copper
1250 Methane Asteroid 675 Organometallic Asteroid
1250 Carbonaceous Asteroid 675 Carbonaceous Asteroid
Optional Mark V Weapon Upgrade Optional Mark V Capacitor Upgrade
Mining Grade Reactor:
1250 Steel
1250 Copper
625 Sulfuric Asteroid
625 Organometallic Asteroid
Optional Mark V Reactor Upgrade
Once your Cargo Hold is full (500 for small, 1000 for large Starfighter Cargo Hold) you then have to empty it into your inventory (or sell it at a Mining Platform) before you can continue mining. Biggest problem with this is that you have to LAND to do so. I can't seem to find any way to empty the Cargo Hold while still in space.
Perhaps on a Multi-Player ship this is possible. (I have yet to complete the Corvette mission and get my Ace status... so I can't tell you about Multi-Player mining yet)
SPACE MINING TRADING PLATFORMS: Here's where you can go in each system to sell what Asteroid Resources are in your Cargo Hold. You can ONLY sell what is currently in your Cargo Hold (not from your inventory). The current Price Per Unit is posted as well - not sure if they ever fluctuate...
