| Description: | What information about NEOs is still needed to support a robust, sustainable human exploration program? The attached report includes numerous recommendations prompted by this question, but a primary conclusion by the participants is the need for a space-based survey telescope to greatly expand the catalog of accessible targets for human exploration. This critical asset should be considered as part of the basic infrastructure to enable human exploration beyond LEO. Such an asset could be rapidly developed and would have cross cutting benefits across multiple NASA directorates and international space agency interests. |
