Does anyone have access to full text of Shoemaker and Helin (1978), Earth-approaching asteroids as targets for exploration, NASA CP-2053, pp. 245-256. ? I would like to see how it's calculated. Lunar escape velocity is 2.38 km/s, and it's less if you want to transfer to Earth orbit, or Earth surface by aerobraking. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=7d7fb4d8
