TL;DR: The Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission is a kinetic impactor experiment to demonstrate the impact hazard mitigation by deflecting an asteroid as mentioned in this paper, and the AIDA target will be the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, with the deflection experiment to occur in September 2022.

TL;DR: The Impactor for Surface and Interior Science (ISIS) mission concept is a kinetic asteroid impactor mission to the target of NASA's OSIRIS-REx (Origins-Spectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer) asteroid sample return mission as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Strata-1 experiment as mentioned in this paper was used to study the mixing and segregation dynamics of regolith on small asteroids by exposing regolith simulants to the microgravity environment aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for one year.

TL;DR: The landing operation working team (LOWT) of MMX is composed of both scientists and engineers, which is studying Phobos' surface based on previous observations and theoretical/experimental considerations as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: ASIME 2018 as discussed by the authors was a two-day workshop of almost 70 scientists and engineers in the context of the engineering needs of space missions with in-space asteroid utilisation, focusing on asteroid composition for advancing the asteroid inspace resource utilisation domain.
