CASTAway: An asteroid main belt tour and survey [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2018 CASTAway is a mission concept to explore our Solar System's main asteroid belt. Asteroids and comets provide a window into the formation and evolution of our Solar System and the composition of these objects can be inferred from space-based remote sensing using spectroscopic techniques.

Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Asteroid Belt
, 2022 The asteroid belt was dynamically shaped during and after planet formation. Despite representing a broad ring of stable orbits, the belt contains less than one one-thousandth of an Earth mass. The asteroid orbits are dynamically excited with a wide range in eccentricity and inclination and their compositions are diverse, with a general trend toward dry

Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt
Science, 1982The distribution of compositional types among the asteroids is found to vary systematically with heliocentric distance. Seven distinct peaks in the relative proportion of the compositional types E, R, S, M, F, C, P, and D are found from 1.8 to 5.2 astronomical units.

Stable Chaos in the Asteroid Belt☆
Icarus, 1997Abstract Most asteroids are characterized by positive Lyapounov Characteristic Exponents (LCE), which means that their orbits are chaotic. Indeed, the striking fact is that for many of them the maximum LCE is very large, with a corresponding Lyapounov time shorter (often much shorter) than 100,000 years, as we report in this work.

Hannes: A mission to the asteroid belt
Acta Astronautica, 1996Abstract An asteroid belt mission is being studied by Swedish space authorities in cooperation with Russian, European, and American partners. The mission will perform a survey of the inner solar system with an emphasis on cosmogonic issues, i.e. it will study the importance of plasma processes in the formation and evolution of the solar system. For

While asteroids are not moons, they share certain characteristics. The main asteroid belt is a region between Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids in the solar system are located. It is also a region which is commonly misunderstood. People hear “asteroid belt” and often thinks of a Star Wars-style region with fields of asteroids thick ...

Cosmogony of the asteroidal belt
Nature, 1974In the plot of asteroids considered the mass density is substituted for the number density. This approach provides a better definition of the limits of the main belt, and demonstrates more clearly that the asteroids, like the Saturnian rings, have condensed from partially corotating plasma.

The importance of exploring the asteroid belt
Acta Astronautica, 1983Following life's innate tendency to expand into every available space, technological civilizations will inevitably colonize the entire galaxy establishing space habitats around all its well-behaved stars. The most reasonable place in our solar system to test this possibility is the asteroid belt, which is an ideal source of raw materials for space ...
