On the multiple sample and return opportunities from near earth asteroids

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

The mission opportunities of flying for a few near Earth asteroids via a single flight are discussed. The targets brighter than magnitude 22 are surveyed extensively in the time frame of between 2009 and 2011. The important results obtained here show that "two asteroids in a single flight" missions opportunities are actually found feasible even via the smaller vehicle of M-V ISAS operates. The results should be continued further and those found feasible can be considered as the appropriate missions at ISAS.
