  1. Examine structure and composition of asteroid Track asteroid Examine effects of long-term space travel on astronauts Spacecraft design Crew composition Mission statement Orbit analysis Propulsion systems Power systems Experiments Human factors Choosing a destination Colonization feasibility Asteroid trait study Dates Deep space science Deep space technology test bed Communication EVA Ground mission Manned Mission Franky De La Garza Justin Freebourn Amy Seitz Brendan Jones Trace Thomson Nick Webster

  2. Mission Elements Longevity / Scalability: How does our manned mission fit into a larger scheme of exploration? • Technology Test-bed • What technologies need to be tested and refined before the mission? • What technologies can be tested during the mission? • How do these technologies apply to future exploration? • Experimentation • What general science goals can we include? • Asteroid Tracking / Mitigation

  3. Exploration: a long-term view Earth-Moon Mars • Long duration • Radiation • Advanced propulsion • Human factors • Vacuum • Gravity • Short duration • Medium duration • Radiation • Medium distance

  4. Exploration: a long-term view A manned mission to a near-Earth asteroid can serve as a test-bed for the advanced technologies that will be required for colonization and exploration of the Solar System and beyond. Earth-Moon

  5. Choiceof Asteroid • Geology • Primary scientific focus • Study of solar system evolution • Presence of Water • Required for long-term missions • Test of extraction techniques • Trajectory • Duration of trip • Means of propulsion • Ease of Landing • Manned EVA • Probe NASA Deep Impact

  6. Areas for research and improvement • Human Factors • Psychology • Physiology • Radiation Shielding • Artificial Gravity • Team Composition • Systems • Propulsion • Thermal Management • Communications • Guidance / Navigation • Life Support • Power • Computations • Architecture • Spacecraft Components • Space Allocation • Separate Landing Craft • Experimentation and Science • In-Flight • EVA • On Asteroid • Albedo Change/Nuclear detonation… • Tracking • Geology • Mining Because we can?
