Space Missions: Near-Earth Objects
Scientific paper
ISHTAR (Internal Structure High-resolution Tomography by Asteroid Rendezvous) is a mission developed in response to ESA's recent call of ideas for Near Earth Object (NEO) exploration and discovery. The ISHTAR concept is centred around a Radar Tomography payload able to probe the interior of a small asteroid to depths of 100-200m, combined with a small lander for in-situ investigation of the surface and subsurface physical properties, an imager for optical characterization and radio science for accurate mass and density measurements. This unique combination will allow the first detailed physical characterization of an NEO and will give valuable insights into the origin and evolution processes that govern their population.
