NASA to Hold Public Forum with Update on Asteroid Initiative Next Month

NASA will hold a public forum in Washington, DC next month to provide an update on its Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM).   Due to space limitations, only 150 people will be able to attend the meeting in person, although it will also be webcast.

The forum will be held on March 26, 2014 from 12:30-4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the James E. Webb auditorium at NASA Headquarters.  Instructions on viewing the webcast will be posted at www.nasa.gov/asteroidinitiative in due course according to the announcement published in today’s Federal Register.

Topics on the agenda include:

  • Update on ARM studies
  • Technology needs for ARM
  • Mission capabilities extension to commercial application and human-class Mars missions
  • Broad Agency Announcement for alternate capture systems concepts, rendezvous sensor systems, secondary payloads, and commercial and international partnership opportunities
  • Asteroid Grand Challenge engagement opportunities

Online registration is required and opens on Monday, February 24, at www.nasa.gov/asteroidinitiative.
