| ID No : | 91 Edit | Title: | Conceptual Design of the Near Earth Asteroid Returned Sample (NEARS) Mission |
| Summary / Review : |
From the authors' abstract: "The Near Earth Asteroid Returned Sample (NEARS) mission objectives are to obtain up to siz bulk samples, up to 100 grams each, from a near-Earth asteroid, and to return the samples to Earth for laboratory analysis... The mission design allows for the NEARS spacecraft to be derived from that for the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission, which is currently under development at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) of the Johns Hopkins University [at the time this paper was written, and which was launched successfully and is scheduled to arrive at asteroid Eros where it will orbit the asteroid in 1999]. ... After departure from the asteroid, the spacecraft will return to Earth. The capsule will separate from the spacecraft, re-enter the atmosphere, and descend on a parachute to Earth's surface for land recovery..." - MP
