Belter: Strictly speaking, one who practices the profession of asteroid prospector and miner, usually working alone or with a small number of partners.

Description (Specifications)
A Belter participates in a difficult and often dangerous career, calling for individuals who are highly self-reliant, competent, and determined. Belters tend to be loners, eccentrics, who can spend weeks at a time staring into a scanner, searching for the single strike that will make their fortunes. It takes a special person to earn a living as a belter. [2]
