Title: Issues of Landing on Near Earth Asteroids
Summary / Review : Covers considerations in orbiting and landing operations on asteroids due to irregular shapes and different gravitational and spin properties. Analyzes dynamics and modelling. Extracted from the author's abstract: "... This paper defines and discusses a variety of asteroid landing scenarios, gives a simple analysis of the benefits and difficulties involved with each of them and addresses the benefits of having accurate information about the target asteroid an d about asteroids in general. In conjunction with this paper some examples of orbiter and lander trajectories about asteroids [based on radar images] will be available in video format..." - MP
