Target Asteroids! Observing Campaigns for 2015 October through December
Abstract
Asteroid campaigns to be conducted by the Target Asteroids! program during the 2015 October-December quarter are described. In addition to asteroids on the original Target Asteroids! list of easily accessible spacecraft targets, an effort has been made to identify other asteroids that are 1) brighter and easier to observe for small telescope users and 2) analogous to 101955 Bennu and (162173) 1999 JU3, targets of the OSIRISREx and Hayabusa-2 sample return missions.
