Abstract
⺠We present results of a study for a space mission to an asteroid. ⺠Don Quijote: Impactor spacecraft changes asteroid orbit; Orbiter measures change. ⺠Payload is prioritised through trade-offs, taking into account mission objectives. ⺠Orbiter must carry a thermal IR spectrometer, to account for the Yarkovsky effect. ⺠Also discuss Radio Science Experiment, laser altimeter, wide-angle impact camera.
