ATIG Members-

As some of you are aware, I've been authoring a series of three white papers since April in response to a National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine solicitation supporting the "Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032" (ref. https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/planetary-science-and-astrobiology-decadal-survey-2023-2032).  The first of these papers was submitted today.  It deals with near-Earth object exploration, and the as-submitted version is attached for your use and comment.

Reference [16] in the attached paper may be of particular interest to many of you.  It's the final report of a Keck Institute for Space Studies investigation of low-latency telepresence applied to off-Earth exploration.  This strategy promises to be a game-changer in the coming decades.  A copy of the report may be downloaded at https://www.kiss.caltech.edu/final_reports/Telepresence_Final_Report.pdf.  Enjoy!
