DigitalSpace releases a design for a human mission to an asteroid. After six months of work, DigitalSpace today released a design visualization for a human mission to an asteroid (also known as a Near Earth Object or NEO). This work was done in support of an internal NASA feasibility study, although it is DigitalSpace's unique concept and contribution. Please see our site on the project which includes our press release, movies of the concept mission, images and description of the mission as well as many resources about organizations and individuals in the NEO community.

Special News Coverage:

This release has been covered by the following news organizations:

• AOL featured the DigitalSpace design for a human mission to a NEO as story #1 on August 1, 2007.
• Space.com highlighted the DigitalSpace design for a human mission to a NEO in a wide ranging, excellent interview by veteran space journalist Leonard David. See the narrated movie of our design simulation hosted by Space.com here.
• CNET's News.com site covered the release with an extensive interview of DigitalSpace's founder and CEO Bruce Damer and NASA NEO expert and study group member David Morrison. See this story, How to land a spacecraft on an asteroid, by Stefanie Olsen, here.

DigitalSpace is participating as a team member on the RLEP2 (Robotic Lunar Exploration Program) surface mobility trades team during the "pre-phase A" work on this planned 2011 robotic mission to the Lunar south pole. This mission will look for water ice and other useful materials in the permanently shadowed areas of polar Lunar craters. The presence of water ice could aid humanity in creating a more sustainable presence on the moon in the future. DigitalSpace is producing a series of design prototype simulations including vehicles and lunar terrain for use in the surface mobility (rover) trade studies.
