CRAFTI: A Canadian Asteroid Mission
نویسندگان
چکیده
Historically, planetary exploration has been performed using large, complex, and costly spacecraft that have attempted to bring a laboratory of instruments with them. Only in the early days of the American and Russian space programs were the missions less complex and more focused. The Canadian Robotic Asteroid Flyby and Tentatively Impact (CRAFTI) mission proposes to return to some of the philosophies of that era, and to bring modern microsatellite design philosophies into planetary exploration.

Mission Analysis for Sample Retrieval from a Primitive Near - Earth Asteroid
Reported in this paper are the results of a mission analysis conducted for an asteroid exploration mission. Following the results obtained from HAYABUSA, a Japanese asteroid explorer, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has started studying the possibility of the next asteroid exploration mission. The mission studied gives priority to the early retrieval of a sample from an asteroid with a...
متن کاملAsteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission
The Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission will be the first space experiment to demonstrate asteroid impact hazard mitigation by using a kinetic impactor to deflect an asteroid. AIDA is an international cooperation entering Phase A study at NASA and ESA, consisting of two mission elements: the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and the ESA Asteroid Impact Mi...

NASA is developing concepts for the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), which would use a robotic spacecraft to capture a small near-Earth asteroid, or remove a boulder from the surface of a larger asteroid, and redirect it into a stable orbit around the moon. Astronauts launched aboard the Orion crew capsule and the Space Launch System rocket would rendezvous with the captured asteroid mass in lu...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithm Based Robust and Optimal Path Planning for Sample-Return Mission from an Asteroid on an Earth Fly-By Trajectory
This paper investigates a systematic mission design of robust and optimal orbital transfer maneuvers for a sample return mission from an asteroid. In this study, an interplanetary space flight mission design is established to obtain the minimum ∆V required for a rendezvous and sample return mission from an asteroid. Given the initial (observed) conditions of an asteroid, a (robust) genetic algo...
