NASA identifies three potential asteroids for capture and drag into orbit around the Moon

Thursday, September 12, 2013 2:04

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The US space agency has narrowed its hunt for an asteroid to capture to three, NASA said Wednesday.

The asteroids fit the requirements of being between seven to 10 meters (yards) in size, and further study should be able to narrow the choice even more, scientists said at a conference in San Diego, California.

“We have two to three which we will characterize in the next year and if all goes well… those will be valid candidates that could be certified targets,” said Paul Chodas, senior scientist at the NASA Near-Earth Object Program Office.

The plan is to send a robotic spacecraft to capture the asteroid and drag it into orbit around the Moon.

Once there, astronauts could visit the asteroid and take samples of it back to Earth for study.
