NASA is soliciting ideas that will contribute to NASA’s asteroid redirect mission, including concept ideas for an alternate asteroid capture system, rendezvous sensor systems, secondary payloads, feasibility studies on adapting commercial spacecraft buses, and commercial and international partnership opportunities for the mission.
