Comparing NASA Discovery and New Frontiers Class Mission Concepts for the Io Volcano Observer (IVO)
Christopher W. Hamilton, Alfred S. McEwen, Laszlo Keszthelyi +31
Jupiter's moon Io is a highly compelling target for future exploration that offers critical insight into tidal dissipation processes and the geology of high heat flux worlds, inclu…
Comparison of optical spectra between asteroids Ryugu and Bennu: II. High-precision analysis for space weathering trends
K. Yumoto, E. Tatsumi, T. Kouyama +25
The influence of space weathering on the observed spectra of C-complex asteroids remains uncertain. This has long hindered our understanding of their composition through telescope…
Shaking and Tumbling: Short- and Long-Timescale Mechanisms for Resurfacing of Near-Earth Asteroid Surfaces from Planetary Tides and Predictions for the 2029 Earth Encounter by (99942) Apophis
R. -L. Ballouz, H. Agrusa, O. S. Barnouin +14
Spectral characterization of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) has revealed a continuum of space-weathered states for the surfaces of S-complex NEAs, with Q-class NEAs, an S-complex subc…
Asteroid (101955) Bennu in the Laboratory: Properties of the Sample Collected by OSIRIS-REx
Dante S. Lauretta, Harold C. Connolly, Joseph E. Aebersold +50
On 24 September 2023, the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission dropped a capsule to Earth containing approximately 120 g of pristine carbonaceous regolith from Bennu. We describe the delivery a…
QRIS: A Quantitative Reflectance Imaging System for the Pristine Sample of Asteroid Bennu
Ruby E. Fulford, Dathon R. Golish, Dante S. Lauretta +12
The Quantitative Reflectance Imaging System (QRIS) is a laboratory-based spectral imaging system constructed to image the sample of asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by the Origins…
