Small Solar System bodies, including asteroids, comets, satellites, and interplanetary dust particles have undergone a recent scientific renaissance with new observations that have greatly expanded our understanding of the origin and evolution of our Solar System. This
new information comes from telescopic data, and in-situ observations with spacecraft carrying high resolution instruments sensing IR, visible, UV, X-rays, gamma ray photons and neutrons. In addition, Hayabusa 1 has returned samples to earth and Hayabusa 2 and OSIRIS-REx have been sent to return more. In this session, all contributions on small solar system bodies are welcome. We welcome all contributions on recent advances in the study of asteroids whether obtained by
rendezvous spacecraft, sample return, analysis of meteorites, remote sensing and laboratory research on analogous materials.
