- Description
- NASA is formulating the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) to advance technologies and gain operational experience critical for future human spaceflight beyond low Earth orbit. In 2014, NASA released a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to study concepts from industry in support of ARM pre-formulation activities. Eighteen study contracts were awarded in five areas: Asteroid Capture Systems, Rendezvous Sensors, Adapting Commercial Spacecraft, Partnerships Opportunities for Secondary Payloads, and Partnerships Opportunities for the Asteroid Redirect Crewed Mission. The robotic segment of ARM has successfully passed its Mission Concept Review (MCR) and baselined the robotic boulder capture options. NASA is now seeking additional information from industry on a range of spacecraft implementation approaches and procurement options that may achieve further cost savings.
