On June 18, NASA will host an event in which experts will provide details
about NASA's asteroid initiative, including the observation campaign, the
orbital tracking, robotic components, the human elements, and enhanced
focus on planetary defense. We will describe our upcoming planning
timeline and clearly identify opportunities and processes for providing
input into our planning. During this public forum, NASA will also release a
Request for Information (RFI) to seek new ideas for mission elements and
describe the process for submitting your ideas to NASA so that NASA teams
may consider your innovative solutions and/or participation.
