A Change of the Rotation Period of Asteroid (65803) Didymos Caused by the DART Impact
The Planetary Science JournalOn 2022 September 26, the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos. This experiment tested the kinetic impactor technology for diverting dangerous asteroids.

Near-Earth asteroid resource accessibility and future capture mission opportunities [PDF]
, 2012 In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) has always been suggested for ambitious space endeavours; and asteroids and comets in particular are generally agreed to be ideal sources, both in terms of its accessibility and wealth.

Assessment on the feasibility of future shepherding of asteroid resources [PDF]
, 2010 Most plausible futures for space exploration and exploitation require a large mass in Earth orbit. Delivering this mass requires overcoming the Earth's natural gravity well, which imposes a distinct obstacle to any future space venture.

Radiation Forces and Trajectory of Hayabusa2♯ Target 1998 KY26
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSmall near-Earth asteroid 1998 KY _26 has recently become an object of interest because it is the target of the Hayabusa2 ♯ mission and because challenges in fitting its astrometric data have led to classifying it as a dark comet.

Evidence for YORP-induced Spin Deceleration in Asteroid (433) Eros
The Astrophysical JournalTheoretically, the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack (YORP) effect induced by thermal reemission from asteroid surfaces can either accelerate or decelerate their rotation.
