Scientific paper

This poster will present the results from an extensive search for trajectories in 2015-2035 to over 7,000 Near Earth Asteroids. Both chemical propulsion and electric propulsion trajectories are examined in three mission classes: (1) robotic rendezvous missions, (2) robotic sample return missions, and (3) human explorations missions. Many of the accessible asteroids identified in the search have poorly known physical and orbital characteristics. In presenting this list of exploration targets, we hope to encourage future ground-based and space-based observations of these bodies that could help prioritize potential mission targets.
