TL;DR: Hera will investigate the smallest asteroid visited so far, providing a unique opportunity to shed light on the role cohesion and Van der Waals forces may play in the formation and resulting internal structure of such small bodies.

TL;DR: OkeanOS as discussed by the authors is a solar power sail mission to explore a Jupiter Trojan asteroid using a lander, which will rendezvous with the target asteroid, conduct global mapping of the asteroid from the spacecraft, and in situ measurements on the surface.

TL;DR: Despite the fact that AIM funding has not been fully confirmed during the ESA Ministerial conference in 2016, MASCOT2 is an instrument package of high maturity and major interest for planetary defence and NEO science and can be considered and studied for future missions.

TL;DR: The scientific and technological background of the CORSAIR mission, an overview of the development, design and testing of the launcher, and the launcher theory are introduced explaining the entire reaction chain: initiation → gas dynamics → SARP motion.
