Radar and Optical Observations and Physical Modeling of Binary Near-Earth Asteroid 2018 EB
We report radar, photometric, and visible-wavelength spectrophotometry observations of NEA 2018 EB obtained in 2018. The radar campaign started at Goldstone (8560 MHz, 3.5 cm) on April 7, and it was followed by more extensive observations from October 5 ...

(216) Kleopatra is a highly elongated dumbbell shaped asteroid, which is spinning rapidly (spin period 5.38 hours), and has two satellites. The tidal migration rate of its outer satellite (related to asteroid tidal despinning) has been measured by Broz et al.

Space IT platforms: challenges of the XXI century
More than half a century of man-in-space exploration not only demonstrated the new manufacturing capabilities of the countries involved in the study of distant and near space, but also presented the main challenges that humanity will face in the ...

Spectroscopy of faint asteroids, satellites, and comets
Nineteen asteroids with orbital elements comparable to those of short-period comets and the outer Jovian satellites J6 Himalia and J7 Elara have been observed with the 228-cm telescope and image-tube spectrograph of Steward Observatory. No activity indicating cometary outgassing was detected.

Physical and Mutual Orbit Characteristics of Near-Earth Binary Asteroid (163693) Atira
We report physical and mutual orbit characteristics of near-Earth binary asteroid (163693) Atira. Using S -band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) radar observations from the Arecibo Observatory and several epochs of lightcurve observations from 2003 to 2019 with SHAPE
