NASA mission will start taking future asteroid Mission to asteroid Redirect by 2019 or earlier.

Recently, the universe of the United States (NASA) unveils more information mission hunting and mining asteroid (ARM).  One of the program is to use the space for future automatic guided by asteroids in near Earth. According to this, an asteroid targets will be NASA choice 1 years ago when conducting "hunting" and there are 2 alternatives is: bring an entire celestial bodies are the size of a small sample or rock from celestial larger. The NASA added that the project will officially be starting before by 2019 or even earlier.

When a celestial bodies had been "arrested", it will be taken to the orbit of the moon. Then, I hope this allows NASA astronauts can have access to a natural and perform work study more easily. If you don't have any problems obstacles, NASA announced that they are going to approach the celestial bodies were brought back from the universe in the year 2020. Currently, the project is in early stages of using Spitzer space telescope to look at the sky and choose candidates. According to information from NASA, in the first phase, the project mainly looking for hunting and the sky server for the formation of the solar system.

Gerstenmaier Williams, program manager and Human Exploration operations said: "With the idea of paradigm research, we're making the first step to make money people can move deeper into space. We've done steps ever to target the nearest is Mars. At the same time, our mission is Amr district came under research projects designed to protect the Earth from threats by the asteroid from space."

until now, researchers at NASA have found 9 asteroid valuable with the size and orbit is completely consistent with criteria of the project. Anyway, search by the NASA continue to show the next time to prolong further the list of celestial targets. Most of it is that special celestial 2011 MD has its own mass low (nearly the same with water) and the size at about 6,1 meters. As expected, this is going to be the first goal of the program ARM of the future.

John Grunsfeld, director of NASA science program said: "research closer to the sky is a challenge for us in the future. However, it will help protect our planet out of the dangers from space. At the same time, the arrest and surveyed the sky and allows us to do research and deeper understanding of the formation of the solar system in relation to the Earth."
