Why :
It's a proof of concept, a space platform designed to make legendary iron ore without using quality modules in the crushers, instead it grab all the iron it can and crush it with efficency module, but then it puts it in a recycler with quality module. If the iron ore isn't legendary, it is throw back to space, if the iron is legendary, it ring the speaker and keep it preciously in the hub. This occurs twice an hour or something with the default level of research given by the command /cheat all. The yield is very low, it only keeps the iron ore that upgrade from regular quality to legendary in a single step, it would be easy to process more of the iron, through several recyclers with a bigger ship, in case of a new version of factorio where the crushers don't accept quality modules anymore.
This somewhat mimicking how you could upcycle the ore directly at the mining drill but instead from space, to illustrate that you don't have to build a whole factory on space, nor any kind of upcycling loop with intermediate products, a very simple design can do the trick.
