Description: The options for asteroid missions are evaluated within the constraints of existing or planned launch vehicles and low-thrust propulsion systems. A wide variety of missions is possible, including flyby, rendezvous, and even sample return. The multi-asteroid rendezvous concept requires an ion drive low-thrust propulsion system of the type being developed for a comet rendezvous. It is indicated that there are plentiful opportunities for such missions to visit four asteroids with stay times of 60-90 days each and with transit times between rendezvous of the order of a year.
