Default Proposed probe to investigate asteroid interiors

Probe to 'look inside' asteroids

Quote:
A new space mission concept unveiled at a Paris conference aims to look inside asteroids to reveal how they are made.

Deep Interior would use radar to probe the origin and evolution of two near-Earth objects less than 1km across.

Allow me to quote from a true master, Arthur C. Clarke:

"It was not true, as one blase astronomer had remarked, "when you see one asteroid, you've seen them all". (He was an expert on colliding galaxies, so his ignorance of such minor details could be excused)."

From The Hammer of God, as excerpted by one observer of colliding galaxies who was made to realize by serving on an allocation committee that asteroid observers could eventually write understandable proposals about the surface geological differences among asteroids...
