TL;DR: The ASSERT tomographic radar as mentioned in this paper is a unique opportunity to achieve the tomography both in transmission and in reflexion of an asteroid in order to determine its fracturing, its stratigraphy and its heterogeneity at different scales for a better understanding of accretion and evolution phenomena's.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a concept for a challenging in situ science mission to a primitive, binary near-Earth asteroid, where a sub-400-kg spacecraft would use solar electric propulsion to rendezvous with the C-class binary asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3.

TL;DR: A Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT) for the Hayabusa 2 Mission to 1999 JU3: The Scientific Approach as mentioned in this paper was used for the first time.

TL;DR: The MASCOT lander as discussed by the authors is a small asteroid lander launched on December 3rd, 2014, aboard the Japanese HAYABUSA2 asteroid sample-return mission towards the 980 m diameter C-type near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3.

TL;DR: In this paper , a suite of 12 organic molecules, 9 of which also found in the original analysis of this data, exhibit high statistical probability to be present in the grains sampled from the cometary nucleus.
