Target Asteroids! Observing Campaigns for October through December 2016
Abstract
Asteroid campaigns to be conducted by the Target Asteroids! program during the October-December 2016 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) Ryugu, targets of the OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa-2 sample return missions.
