The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
We invite the community to learn more about the CASTAway mission, an asteroid belt survey and tour proposed to the ESA M5 call. This mission combines a spectroscopic survey of >10,000 asteroids with close flybys of 10-20. We will present details on the plans and opportunities for community involvement. We invite contributions on either additional uses of a telescope located in the asteroid belt or on ideas for potential cubesat investigations in the asteroid belt, using CASTAway as a launcher and communications relay (i.e. for probes released at flybys). The meeting will take place at the Open University in Milton Keynes, on Wednesday 8th March 2017.
Please register by February 15th if planning on attending.
