Papers are invited for a special topical issue of Advances in Space Research (ASR) entitled “Past, Present and Future of Small Body Science and Exploration” that was proposed within the 41st COSPAR 2016 Scientific Assembly.

This special issue is open to all scientists that want to share their results with the scientific community about small body science connected to space exploration. The year 2016 has seen an incredible burst in the Space mission activities to minor bodies, leading to tremendous or surprising results. The present special issue welcomes contributions that have a Scientific, Technical or Instrumental focus and serves as a crossroad of recent results and future
prospects of small body explorations.

To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, authors must select “Special Issue: Small Body Exploration” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2017.
