James2 V Infinity Research LLC. – Altadena, CA, USA Kris Zacny,3 Philip Chu, Jack Craft Honeybee Robotics Spacecraft Mechanisms Corporation – Pasadena, CA, USA This paper presents the results from the nine-month, Phase 1 investigation for the Robotic Asteroid Prospector (RAP). This project investigated several aspects of developing an asteroid mining mission. It conceived a Space Infrastructure Framework that would create a demand for in space-produced resources. The resources identified as potentially feasible in the near-term were water and platinum group metals. The project’s mission design stages spacecraft from an Earth Moon Lagrange (EML) point and returns them to an EML. The spacecraft’s distinguishing design feature is its solar thermal propulsion system (STP) that provides two functions: propulsive thrust and process heat for mining and mineral processing. The preferred propellant is water since this would allow the spacecraft to refuel at an asteroid for its return voyage to Cis- Lunar space thus reducing the mass that must be launched from the EML point. The spacecraft will rendezvous with an asteroid at its pole, match rotation rate, and attach to begin mining operations. The team conducted an experiment in extracting and distilling water from frozen regolith simulant.

Thatcher, discovers a 9th-magnitude comet. Comet Thatcher was found to have an approximate orbital period of 415 years and is the parent comet of the Lyrid meteor shower, which peaks around April 22 each year. The Lyrids usually put on a modest display of less than 20 meteors per hour, but on occasion have produced much stronger displays, most recently in 1982. APRIL 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 APRIL 8, 1957: Comet Arend-Roland 1956h passes through perihelion at a heliocentric distance of 0.316 AU. This was one of the brighter comets of the mid-20th Century and is a future “Comet of the Week.” APRIL 8, 2024: The path of a total solar eclipse will cross north-central Mexico and the south-central and northeastern U.S. This may be my last, best chance to see an eclipse comet; I discuss these in a future “Special Topics” presentation. APRIL 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 APRIL 9, 1994: Radar bounce experiments conducted by the joint NASA/U.S. Defense Department Clementine spacecraft suggest the presence of water ice in permanently shadowed craters near the moon’s South Pole. This would be confirmed by NASA’sLunar Prospector mission in 1998. These experiments are discussed as part of a future “Special Topics” presentation. *There are no calendar entries for April 6 and 7.

Asteroids have been exposed to impacts since their formation, and as a consequence their surfaces are covered by small parti- cles, pebbles, and boulders. The Japanese JAXA/ISAS Hayabusa mission collected micron-sized particles from the regolith of asteroid 25143 Itokawa. The study in terrestrial laboratories of these particles provides a scientific opportunity as their physical properties can be compared with those characteristic of chondritic meteorites that are often considered proxies of the building materials of potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs).
